What affects the price in Piddinghoe

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Piddinghoe

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Do you come to Piddinghoe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Piddinghoe and the rest of East Sussex. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Landlord and trade work in Piddinghoe

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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Piddinghoe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
