Common questions in Balerno
Do you cover Balerno?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Balerno. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
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.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
What affects the price in Balerno
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Balerno. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
