For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Orkney Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What we are called out for in Abune-the-Hill
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Abune-the-Hill questions
Do you work in Abune-the-Hill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Abune-the-Hill and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you cover the whole of the Orkney Islands?
Across the UK, and that includes Abune-the-Hill. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
