Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Land Gate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
