Barkby Thorpe: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?
The entire UK, including all of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Barkby Thorpe and the rest of Leicestershire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, 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
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Barkby Thorpe

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

- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture

Repairing versus replacing in Barkby Thorpe
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
