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

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Ballumbie, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
