UPVC repair for Birling homes

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

uPVC repair in Birling, done in place

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Our technicians work on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, white uPVC and doors & door panels, and the jobs we see most are burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Repair or replace in Birling?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What affects the price in Birling

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Birling questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Birling use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Birling

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
