What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

About our wood floor repair in Firle
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Common questions in Firle
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Firle included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BN8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we are called out for in Firle
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Dents from dropped items
- Chipped board edges
