Wood floor repair for South Croydon homes

About our wood floor repair in South Croydon

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Our hiring checklist

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to South Croydon. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for South Croydon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from South Croydon

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, South Croydon included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
