Questions from Long Thurlow
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Long Thurlow and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
