Wood floor repair at your home in Veensgarth
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Veensgarth is in the Shetland Islands. Clients in Veensgarth get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed price from your pictures, and a technician at your door on the day. Veensgarth is one of 63 towns and villages in the Shetland Islands where we work.
All of ZE2 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You will find streets such as Vallafield, Herrislea Court and Herrisdale Park, and we cover them all. Nearby, we also work in Gott (1 mile north-east), Gremista (2 miles east), Heogan (3 miles east), Lerwick (3 miles south-east) and Sound (3 miles south-east). For island and remote addresses, call first so we can plan the visit.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

- One picture of the whole floor
- Something in shot to show the size
