Common questions in Blackhill
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How we handle wood floor repair in Blackhill
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We are frequently asked to fix dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, in engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Blackhill and the surrounding area
Blackhill is about 1 mile west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. From the centre of Blackhill to the outlying streets, the service is the same: a fixed price, a tidy visit and a guarantee. Our repair technicians cover all 51 towns and villages in the Orkney Islands.
All of KW15 is within our area. Neighbouring places we cover include Kirkwall (1 mile east), Greenigoe (2 miles south), Grimbister (4 miles west), Finstown (5 miles west) and Heddle (5 miles west). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.
What’s near Blackhill
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Orkney Library and Archive. Nearby you will also find Balfour Hospital (1.2 miles south-east) and Orkney Museum (1.2 miles east). The countryside around Blackhill includes Lochs of Griffyelt and Wideford Hill.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No need to remove anything
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackhill
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What affects the price in Blackhill
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
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 the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
