Trusted wood floor repair in Rough Common

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rough Common. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

About our wood floor repair in Rough Common

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and burns, on solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rough Common as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  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

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Rough Common questions

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work in Rough Common?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rough Common. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
