Wood floor repair in and around Finchley: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Burns
- Chipped board edges
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Wood floor repair in Finchley without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. If you are dealing with gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can help, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Signs you need wood floor repair in Finchley
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

- Dents from dropped items
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Gouges from moving appliances
What to look for in a quote

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
