How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

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

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Northdown. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common questions in Northdown

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

Everywhere in the UK, Northdown included. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
