Book wood floor repair in Summerstown

Summerstown: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Wood floor repair in Summerstown without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and burns, we can normally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SW17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Summerstown

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Burns
  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
