Underhill questions
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you come to Underhill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Underhill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Wood floor repair in Underhill, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, across laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Underhill and across Greater London. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

What affects the price in Underhill
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Underhill. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add 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.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Underhill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Underhill
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
