Wood floor repair in Arpinge

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Wood floor repair in Arpinge, done in place

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, in solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Arpinge and across Kent. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Arpinge questions

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are there extra charges for Arpinge?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Arpinge

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges

Comparing quotes

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Arpinge. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
