Building works — extensions, kitchen renovations, bathroom refits, loft conversions — inevitably cause some collateral damage to surfaces in the surrounding areas. Worktops get scratched during fitting. Tiles get chipped during removal or installation of adjacent tiles. Baths get paint splashes. Floors get gouged. Surface repair is a key part of the final snagging and finishing phase of any building project.
Common Post-Building Surface Damage
- Worktop chips and scratches — from tool belts, metal fixtures and appliance fitting
- Tile chips — from adjacent tile removal, drilling and fitting work
- Bath paint splashes and scratches — from decorator access
- Floor damage — gouge marks from scaffold boards, heavy equipment tracks, dropped tools
- Window and door frame damage — UPVC scratches from access scaffolding or tool contact
- Sink damage — chips from plumber access or appliance installation
Working with Builders and Contractors
We regularly work with builders, kitchen fitters and bathroom installers to remediate surface damage before project handover. For trade customers, we offer priority scheduling and block booking for multiple sites. Surface repair is often the final stage before a project is signed off by the client.
Who Pays for Building Damage Repairs?
This is a common question for homeowners after building work. If the damage was caused by the contractor’s work or negligence, it is generally their responsibility to arrange and pay for remediation. We can provide an itemised quote that you can present to your contractor if the damage is in dispute.
