Your questions about wood floor repair in Longlands
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Longlands. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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 price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
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. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
