Finishing Point - Floor Sanding - A review

Recommended Posts

We recently had our floors sanded and gaps filled by local Herne Hill business Finishing Point (owned/run by Derek). Derek was really friendly and came over one evening to do the quote the same day that I contacted them. We had other quotes but liked his approach and professionalism so went with him. We are really happy with the results - the floors look great. Also really impressed with the lack of mess and sawdust! Highly recommend these guys - excellent and local, just the way we want it!

I recently had wooden floors fitted by Derek at Finishing Point. He was very helpful and responsive, organising to do the work very quickly. I live in Hither Green and he was happy to come out to measure / bring samples / bring back my door keys etc. His communication was better than any of the other trades people I have deal with - I knew exactly when he would be at my house and received frequent updates and pictures of where he was up to and any issues. The work was completed quickly and there was no mess. I've also seen some of his furniture in the showroom and there is lots I want to buy! Definitely recommend.

I would like to add a further recommendation toward Derek and the Finishing Point team.

On time, on budget, flexible on timings, to a high level of skill and care they installed 60sq.m of new engineered parquet flooring which is by no means easy. In short, they did a great job and were a pleasure to have undertake the install for us. happy to send photos via PM. cheers

The three threads posted within minutes of each other were from the same user, who has also posted on other topics. Agree that several threads started by new users looks a bit odd though.


For my part, I contacted Derek and the Finishing POint team a couple of years ago and they didn't bother coming back to me for a quote.

Lets set the record straight.

I've been on the Forum since February, and yes relatively new as moved into the area last year. I've posted some adverts etc, and get in touch with others via PM on occasions, but am not a very regular user by admission.

highly suspicious indeed. maybe get the police involved....


I decided to post to a few main threads aligned to the work we had done, but by no means all the positive threads that Finishing Point come up on, as I said to them I would give feedback here, and like to be a man of my word.

(check them out if you like DirtyBox and POUS.theWondercat as it seems you have time on your hands to do this)

for me its an efficient way to do this, as it will be a while before I return.


Have I broken any rules, are you both site administrators? Again, they did a great job.

I met Derek on a job in Honor Oak , his lads did the sanding and he finished them, really good job and a nice guy. We had a good laugh about the client Claire who had gotten cash prices from everyone than wanted invoices.



Nice. So he bitches about his clients to other tradesmen, huh?

We recently had joists replaced and reclaimed wooden floorboards fitted by Finishing Point in Herne Hill. We also needed collapsing bits of brickwork removing and props for the joists put in. Derek was friendly and professional and Roy, who did the job, was quiet, polite and helpful. We are happy to have a lovely kitchen floor.

We also had Finishing Point do our skiring boards. They look fine from a distance but they were stapled to the walls so up close you can see big bumps of metal sticking out! Very odd and never thought a job would be done this way but to be frank I didn't have the energy to complain so never did! Ah well. Thought it's only fair to have a balanced view on here.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
