How we handle wood floor repair in South Darenth

Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, on engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

How we price wood floor repair

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

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole floor

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

South Darenth questions

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How the visit works

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

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
