About our uPVC repair in Ardleigh

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. If you’re dealing with holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Common questions in Ardleigh

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ardleigh.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens next?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ardleigh. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There’s 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Ardleigh

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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