Wood floor repair in Sanderstead, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are frequently asked to fix dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Sanderstead: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Sanderstead. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Sanderstead?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Take a look at our pricing.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
