Trusted wood floor repair in Southdown

Wood floor repair in Southdown, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are burns and dents from dropped items.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood

Common questions in Southdown

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Do you work in Southdown?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Southdown from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will there be a smell?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you need wood floor repair in Southdown?

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our full price list.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
