Questions from Little Walden

My house in Little Walden is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?

Frequently, yes: original pieces are typically worth keeping. Photos let us tell you what we’d recommend.

Do you cover villages like Little Walden?

We do: small places like Little Walden are covered as standard. Tell us if access is tricky.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Little Walden

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Little Walden. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. In an older home in a village like Little Walden, replacing a floor can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When to call us in Little Walden

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns

Facilities teams at buildings such as Saffron Walden County High School can book us for tiled corridors and washrooms too.

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
