Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kenton Corner as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
About our wood floor repair in Kenton Corner
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for burns and scratches from furniture and pets, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Kenton Corner: your questions answered
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
