Wood floor repair at your home in Lochmaddy
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire floor
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
Lochmaddy questions
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you come to Lochmaddy?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Lochmaddy from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
