Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire floor
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Almshoe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Little Almshoe questions
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Little Almshoe included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When to call us in Little Almshoe

- Dents from dropped items
What your quote should include
