FAQs for Kippington
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Repairing versus replacing in Kippington
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kippington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
