Wood floor repair for Alkham homes

What wood floor repair costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Alkham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Alkham, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Wood floor repair at your home in Alkham

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. 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, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Your questions about wood floor repair in Alkham

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

Everywhere in the UK, Alkham included. Travel is included in the price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
