  • Underfloor damage

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Iford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Iford, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Iford. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BN7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Iford

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across East Sussex.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Are there extra charges for Iford?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When to call us in Iford

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges

What your quote should include

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Your technician turns 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. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Iford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Iford customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
