How we handle wood floor repair in Hoy
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for burns and scratches from furniture and pets, across solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hoy as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Hoy: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover the entire of the Orkney Islands?
Everywhere in the UK, Hoy included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Hoy
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Hoy, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

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. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour-matched on site
