Grimeston questions
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Grimeston?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we’re working on.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Grimeston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
