What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Little Canford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
