Spitalfields questions
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Spitalfields included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Spitalfields
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Spitalfields
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Spitalfields. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
