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.

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.

    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
