How uPVC repair works in the Orkney Islands
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Our technicians work on doors & door panels, conservatory frames and white uPVC, and the jobs we see most are scratches from ladders and furniture and damage during building work.
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Pricing in the Orkney Islands
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the whole UK
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No need to remove anything
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Local landmarks in Kirkwall
Our customers here include homes close to Orkney Library and Archive, Kirkwall Grammar School and Paterson Church and the streets around them. Further afield, we also cover the area around Balfour Hospital (0.5 miles south-west) and Bishop's Palace (within half a mile south-west). Open spaces near Kirkwall include Gallow Ha' and Loomi Shun.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
Signs you need uPVC repair
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in the Orkney Islands
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
