uPVC repair in Aldgate, done in place

Aldgate: your questions answered
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your E1 postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
