Boot scraper installation done properly - securely mounted to walls or set in concrete. Positioned right so people actually use it. Simple job that makes a genuine difference to how much mud gets dragged indoors.
Boot scrapers are one of those old-fashioned things that actually work. Properly positioned and securely mounted, they catch mud before it gets walked through the house. But they need installing right - wonky scrapers don't get used, and poorly mounted ones fall off.
We position scrapers where they're convenient (beside the door, not hidden around a corner), mount them securely for the wall type, and set them at a height that works for your household.

What to Expect
Step 1: Position selection - We assess your entrance, discuss where you want the scraper, and recommend the optimal position based on door swing, foot traffic patterns, and wall suitability.
Step 2: Secure mounting - We drill and fix using appropriate wall plugs/anchors for your wall type. For ground mounting, we set in concrete or fix to existing hard surfaces. Everything is level and solid.
Step 3: Test and tidy - We check the scraper is secure and positioned right, clean up any debris from drilling, and show you the finished installation. Simple job, neat result.
🔧 DIY Tips
Position scrapers where they're natural to use - directly beside the door is usually best. Height should let you rest your boot on it comfortably while standing (10-15cm is typical). Use serious wall fixings - scrapers get kicked hard and need to stay put. Drill into mortar joints rather than bricks where possible - easier drilling, easier to patch later if needed. Ground-mounted scrapers should be set in at least 10cm of concrete for stability.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
Traditional cast iron scrapers last forever but cost more and are heavy (need solid wall fixings). Modern steel scrapers are lighter, cheaper, and still very durable. Some scrapers include brush sections too - handy for clearing boot treads. Position scrapers on the outside of porches/doorways, not inside - defeats the purpose if you've already stepped into the covered area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where should a boot scraper be positioned?
Typically beside the door on the outside wall, about 10-15cm off the ground. Needs to be convenient to use before stepping inside but not in the way of the door or foot traffic. We'll advise on the best spot for your entrance.
Can you install scrapers on any wall type?
Most wall types yes - brick, stone, rendered walls, even some wooden cladding. We use appropriate fixings for each surface. Very soft or crumbling walls might need extra reinforcement or different mounting approaches.
How much does boot scraper installation cost?
£60 for standard wall-mounted installation. If you need us to source the scraper too or if wall conditions require special fixings, we'll discuss additional costs before starting.
Do I need to provide the boot scraper?
You can provide your own or we can source one for you. If we're sourcing it, let us know your preference (traditional cast iron, modern steel, decorative styles, etc.) and budget.
