Trusted wood floor repair in Kingston

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

How we handle wood floor repair in Kingston

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Kingston

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Do you work in Kingston?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kingston and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Kingston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When to call us in Kingston

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your photos
