Wood floor repair in Knockholt

Wood floor repair at your home in Knockholt

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Knockholt

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Knockholt

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Is it messy?

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
