Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Your questions about wood floor repair in East Hoathly

Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Landlord and trade work in East Hoathly

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Hoathly as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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 affects the price in East Hoathly

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for East Hoathly. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire floor

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
