DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Five Ash Down: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Five Ash Down. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
