Wood floor repair for Acol homes

Landlord and trade work in Acol

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Acol use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

About our wood floor repair in Acol

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, we can normally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Acol and across Kent. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

FAQs for Acol

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I book?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Signs you need wood floor repair in Acol

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

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Why repair rather than replace?

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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
