Landlord and trade work in Barbican Estate
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Barbican Estate
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Barbican Estate get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
