Low Common: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
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 tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Wood floor repair in Low Common, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Low Common, and we will reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Common problems we fix in Low Common
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Dents from dropped items
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Chipped board edges

Should you replace it?
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. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
