About our wood floor repair in Lyness
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When to call us in Lyness
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Dents from dropped items
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Chipped board edges
Questions to ask before booking

Your questions about wood floor repair in Lyness
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.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across the Orkney Islands.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you come to Lyness?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Lyness and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repairing versus replacing in Lyness
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
