Wood floor repair for Mottingham homes

Wood floor repair in Mottingham without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, across engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you manage property in Mottingham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Mottingham questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What we are called out for in Mottingham

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: 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 no obligation.
