Wood floor repair in Chawton

For landlords and businesses

About our wood floor repair in Chawton

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with dents from dropped items and burns, we can help, on engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring alike.

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

When to call us in Chawton

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Chawton clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Questions from Chawton

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Chawton

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Chawton. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
