Wood floor repair at your home in South Lambeth
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with dents from dropped items and burns, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole floor
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in South Lambeth, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for South Lambeth
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
How much does wood floor repair cost in South Lambeth?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
