About our wood floor repair in Ticehurst

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for burns and gouges from moving appliances, across laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

FAQs for Ticehurst

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Are there extra charges for Ticehurst?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you work in Ticehurst?

We do. Technicians travel to Ticehurst from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What areas do you cover?

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

When to call us in Ticehurst

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

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

What affects the price in Ticehurst

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ticehurst. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Ticehurst

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
