What affects the price in Lately Common

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Lately Common

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents
  • Damage during building work
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
