Repairing versus replacing in Block Lane

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Block Lane questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
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.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We 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 Block Lane
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
