Wood floor repair in Longfield

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood

Wood floor repair in Longfield without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Whether it’s chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Longfield as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Longfield

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I have to be there?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace in Longfield?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Longfield customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
