Wood floor repair in Thornton Heath without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are burns and gouges from moving appliances.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Thornton Heath

Do you cover Thornton Heath?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Thornton Heath. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are you accredited?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Thornton Heath. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Our hiring checklist

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
