Common questions in Duncton

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Duncton and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your GU28 postcode.

Are there extra charges for Duncton?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How we handle wood floor repair in Duncton

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for burns and chipped board edges, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Questions to ask before booking

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Duncton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 usually the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
