The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a 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. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Kennington questions
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you cover Kennington?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Kennington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kennington. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
When to call us in Kennington
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
Comparing quotes
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kennington
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Kennington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
