Wood floor repair in North Berwick without replacing anything
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Landlord and trade work in North Berwick
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in North Berwick
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Chipped board edges
- Burns
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

FAQs for North Berwick
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to North Berwick. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
