Long Whatton: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
