Wood Floor Repair for East Finchley homes
Wood floor repair in and around East Finchley: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chipped board edges

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Wood floor repair in East Finchley, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to East Finchley. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your N2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
