Fordham Heath questions
Can you repair tiles at a school or business in Fordham Heath?
Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Tell us about access and timings for the building.
Can you restore the original tiles in an older house in Fordham Heath?
In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send pictures and we will advise.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Fordham Heath is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. For a rural home like those around Fordham Heath, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
