Our work suits any type of property, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Our technicians cover 731 places in Suffolk, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Sudbury to London (52 miles away).

Our visits in CO10 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether you live on Station Road, Market Hill and Acton Square or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. Sudbury is on the A131 and A134, which makes it straightforward to reach.

Landlord and trade work in Sudbury

If you manage property in Sudbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repairing versus replacing in Sudbury

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Common questions in Sudbury

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Will the price change on the day?

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

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Sudbury. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
