Common questions in California
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you cover California?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to California and the rest of Suffolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in California.
Are there extra charges for California?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Repair or replace in California?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- Underfloor damage

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the whole floor
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in California
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around California, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
