How we handle wood floor repair in Hawkhurst

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Hawkhurst questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
