About our wood floor repair in Purley

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Purley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Landlord and trade work in Purley

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Purley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Purley

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Do you need wood floor repair in Purley?

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 normally the cheaper route.

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 frequently lifts.
