FAQs for Chipping Warden
Are there extra charges for Chipping Warden?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
