UPVC repair in Birkhill

About our uPVC repair in Birkhill

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Our technicians work on window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and white uPVC, and people most frequently call us about burns on sills and damage during building work.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

When to call us in Birkhill

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Burns on sills
  • Chips and dents

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Birkhill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
