Your questions about wood floor repair in Abbey Gate
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Abbey Gate?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your ME14 postcode.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Abbey Gate
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
