Landlords, agents and businesses in Applethwaite

For developers and builders, we fix 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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Applethwaite use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Applethwaite: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you come to Applethwaite?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Repairing versus replacing in Applethwaite

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole window, door or sill, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we are called out for in Applethwaite

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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage during building work
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
