Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Poling and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What else we do in Poling
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Poling
For anyone letting property in or around Poling, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
