Repair or replace in Mills Hill?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Mills Hill. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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 quote the same day in most cases.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, 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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Mills Hill
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

- Dents from dropped items
