UPVC repair for Akeld homes

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Akeld, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

About our uPVC repair in Akeld

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We regularly repair coloured and woodgrain uPVC, window frames & sills and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

What affects the price in Akeld

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Akeld, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Akeld

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover Akeld?

We do. We send a technician to Akeld for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Doors & door panels
  • White uPVC
  • Conservatory frames
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Window frames & sills

Repairing versus replacing in Akeld

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
