How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Sutton Common

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

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.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

We cover the whole UK, including Sutton Common and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Sutton Common, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is 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’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
