Wood floor repair in Whitfield, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, we can usually put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitfield

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Whitfield, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Repairing versus replacing in Whitfield

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board 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 where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

FAQs for Whitfield

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We cover the entire UK, including Whitfield and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

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