Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in Kelvedon
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
If you manage property in Kelvedon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
