Corrections policy
- Last updated
- Review cycle
- Price ranges every three months
This site publishes concrete numbers: price ranges per square metre, how far a litre of paint goes, waiting times between coats, drying times, material consumption. A site that publishes concrete numbers owes its readers an account of what happens when one of them turns out to be wrong. That is what this page is.
In short: when you tell us a figure is wrong, we correct it, we make the correction visible by changing the last updated date on the page, and for anything substantial we say on the page what changed. We do not correct things silently.
What we actually claim
- Price ranges: labour and material figures per square metre
- Durations: how many days a flat takes, waiting time between coats, drying times
- Consumption values: how far a litre of paint goes
- Technical claims: which primer goes on which surface, what is done to a damp wall
- Coverage: which districts and settlements we travel to
All of it changes over time. Material prices move every few months, product formulations are updated, and the ranges we publish narrow as our own job records grow. Changing is normal; not saying so when it changes is not.
How to tell us something is wrong
There is no separate form for this. Any of the channels on our contact page will do: Contact
Three things make a report useful:
- Which page it is on: give the address or the heading
- Which sentence or figure is wrong
- What the correct value is and, if you have one, what it rests on: a manufacturer data sheet, an institutional publication, your own invoice
You do not have to provide a source. We look into reports that arrive without one too; they simply take longer to verify.
We do not publish the name of the person who reported an error. If you want credit on the corrected page we will name you, and if you do not, we will not.
What happens after a report arrives
We log the report
The report is logged on the day it arrives, together with which claim on which page it concerns.
We try to verify it
We compare the claim against our own job records, the manufacturer's current data sheet or an institutional publication. We aim to close this within five working days.
We correct the page
If the report is right, the figure is corrected. Other pages carrying the same number are checked the same day, because a figure is usually written in more than one place.
We update the date visibly
The last updated date on the corrected page changes. That date is visible on the page, and the same date is published in the structured data.
For a substantial change we say what changed
If a price range, a duration or a technical recommendation changed, a short correction note is added to the relevant part of the page. The old value is not hidden.
If the report is wrong we explain why
If the claim cannot be verified, the page stays as it is and we write back to explain the reason.
Typos, broken links and similar cosmetic fixes sit outside this process. The last updated date is not changed for those, because the content has not changed. We move the date only when the information you read has genuinely changed.
Where our figures come from
There are two sources and they are always distinguished.
- Our own completed jobs: the square metres, the time taken, the material used and the invoice for work we finished in Yalova and its districts. This is the basis of the price ranges. A range is never derived from a single job.
- Institutional and manufacturer sources: current technical data sheets from paint manufacturers, the relevant standards, and figures published by public institutions. Pages that rest on a source of this kind list it at the foot of the page, with the name of the institution and the year of publication.
We do not use unnamed sources. Phrases like "experts say" or "studies show" are deliberately absent from this site: a claim you cannot check is not a claim.
We do not publish a number on a topic where our own work has not produced one yet. If a page does not show the range you expected, that is usually why, rather than an oversight.
How often figures are reviewed
- Price ranges: every three months, against material prices and the jobs completed in that period
- Technical claims and product recommendations: once a year, and also whenever a manufacturer's data sheet changes
- Coverage and contact details: as soon as they change
If a review finds nothing to change, the last updated date does not change either. A date that advances by itself on every deployment makes the claim of freshness worthless; we move ours only for a real change.
What this policy does not cover
This page covers the information published on the site. A written quote issued to you is not its subject: an error in a quote is corrected through the quote itself.
Why the price ranges on the site are not binding offers is set out on a separate page: Terms of Use
