Your questions about uPVC repair in Altham

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

How we handle uPVC repair in Altham

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We regularly repair doors & door panels, conservatory frames and white uPVC, and common reasons people contact us are damage during building work and burns on sills.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we’re called out for in Altham

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Burns on sills

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Altham

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Altham. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Altham, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairing versus replacing in Altham

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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
