What affects the price in Askham

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Askham. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Askham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Askham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Askham

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How soon can you come?

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

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

When to call us in Askham

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damage during building work
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Askham

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
