Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hawkinge as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hawkinge. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Hawkinge and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 normally cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Hawkinge
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hawkinge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
