Wood Floor Repair across the Orkney Islands

Wood floor repair across the Orkney Islands: what to expect

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Pricing in the Orkney Islands

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What’s near Kirkwall

We visit homes around Orkney Library and Archive, Kirkwall Grammar School and Paterson Church. Well-known places in the area include Balfour Hospital (0.5 miles south-west) and Bishop's Palace (within half a mile south-west). Green spaces nearby include Gallow Ha' and Loomi Shun.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

What we’re called out for in the Orkney Islands

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to the Orkney Islands. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Questions from the Orkney Islands

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

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Are there extra charges for the Orkney Islands?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
