Landlords, agents and businesses in East Grimstead

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  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
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Your questions about wood floor repair in East Grimstead

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Are there extra charges for East Grimstead?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes East Grimstead. Prices do not change with location.

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
