Pierowall questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover Pierowall?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Pierowall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Wood floor repair in Pierowall, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KW17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
