Trusted wood floor repair in Charlton

Wood floor repair in Charlton without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Charlton as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

FAQs for Charlton

What areas do you cover?

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Landlord and trade work in Charlton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Charlton. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Charlton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
