What affects the price in Ridsdale
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit

- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Ridsdale
Do you work in Ridsdale?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ridsdale. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ridsdale.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ridsdale
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Ridsdale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
