Your questions about wood floor repair in Mildenhall
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mildenhall
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Mildenhall. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
