Landlords, agents and businesses in Dulwich Village

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Questions from Dulwich Village

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Dulwich Village?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SE22 postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

We work UK-wide, so Dulwich Village is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
