Wood floor repair at your home in Orpington
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, we can usually put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Landlord and trade work in Orpington
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Orpington questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What else we do in Orpington
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
