About our uPVC repair in Blackfordby

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Whether it’s scratches from ladders and furniture and burns on sills, we can usually put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Blackfordby questions

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What affects the price in Blackfordby

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Blackfordby. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need uPVC repair in Blackfordby?

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

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish
