FAQs for Allington
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
