Landlord and trade work in Ashingdon

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Ashingdon questions

Are there extra charges for Ashingdon?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Laminate

What we are called out for in Ashingdon

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips near the sink
  • Chips on edges and corners

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
