How we handle wood floor repair in Chalton

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Chalton questions

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Chalton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
