About our wood floor repair in Grimbister
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Grimbister and across the Orkney Islands. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grimbister as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Grimbister
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Grimbister
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of the Orkney Islands. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Grimbister is about 5 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Across the KW15 area, we carry out the work at your property. We work in all 51 towns and villages across the Orkney Islands.
Postcode districts we cover here: KW15. Neighbouring places we cover include Finstown (1 mile north-west), Heddle (1 mile west), Germiston (2 miles south-west), Kirbister (4 miles south) and Norseman (4 miles north). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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.
What we work on
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
