Malting Green questions

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

Across the UK, so Malting Green is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Landlord and trade work in Malting Green

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
