For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Wood floor repair at your home in Dingwall
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and burns.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dingwall and across Highland. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Dingwall: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
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 redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage

What affects the price in Dingwall
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Dingwall. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
