For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in South Milton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Wood floor repair in South Milton without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. If you are dealing with burns and gouges from moving appliances, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in South Milton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace in South Milton?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
