FAQs for Lady

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Wood floor repair in Lady without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KW17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lady use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
