Mills Hill questions

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you cover Mills Hill?

We do. Technicians travel to Mills Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Rochdale and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Mills Hill

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site

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.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
