Landlords, agents and businesses in Butterknowle

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Butterknowle

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Do you work in Butterknowle?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Butterknowle from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Butterknowle. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What information do you need?

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
