We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We regularly repair solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Small Hythe

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Questions from Small Hythe

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Small Hythe included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Small Hythe?

We do. We send a technician to Small Hythe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

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

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
