How we handle wood floor repair in Mill Hill

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood, and people most often call us about burns and scratches from furniture and pets.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Mill Hill. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Mill Hill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

Mill Hill questions

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

When to call us in Mill Hill

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Burns

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mill Hill

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Mill Hill clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
