Your questions about uPVC repair in Applecross
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Highland.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Our work in Applecross
Applecross is in Highland. Customers in Applecross get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from your pictures, then a visit to do the work. Applecross is one of 253 places in Highland where we work.
We work across the IV54 postcode area. Jobs here include addresses on Shore Street and Craite Barn and the roads around them. Neighbouring places we cover include Miltown (1 mile south), Plockton (9 miles south-east), Shieldaig (9 miles north-east), Drumbuie (9 miles south-east) and Erbusaig (10 miles south-east). Further out, we also cover Portree (14 miles west), Kyle of Lochalsh (11 miles south) and An t-Àth Leathann (14 miles south). Some remote addresses need extra planning, so it’s best to call first.
Around Applecross
Typical jobs here are in homes near Old Parish Church. Other landmarks nearby include Applecross Heritage Centre (0.9 miles north).
Landlords, agents and businesses in Applecross
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we are called out for in Applecross
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Should you replace it?
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. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
