Trusted wood floor repair in Nunhead

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Wood floor repair in Nunhead without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page.

Nunhead questions

Do you cover Nunhead?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Nunhead. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Nunhead

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
