About our wood floor repair in Hamsey

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are burns and dents from dropped items.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hamsey. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

Hamsey: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Hamsey?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When to call us in Hamsey

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Burns

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
