Wood floor repair in Slindon Common

For landlords and businesses

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we handle wood floor repair in Slindon Common

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are burns and dents from dropped items.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Slindon Common and across West Sussex. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

What affects the price in Slindon Common

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Slindon Common. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Slindon Common, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, 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, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Related advice

Slindon Common: your questions answered

Do you cover Slindon Common?

We do. We send a technician to Slindon Common for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
