East Herrington: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Do you cover East Herrington?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to East Herrington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in East Herrington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sunderland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairing versus replacing in East Herrington
