Wood floor repair in Kirkwall, done in place
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. Our technicians work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Repairing versus replacing in Kirkwall
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Kirkwall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour-matched on site
- Same prices wherever you are

Do you need wood floor repair in Kirkwall?

What your quote should include

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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.

Common questions in Kirkwall
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Kirkwall?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Kirkwall
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
