UPVC repair for Brackenlands homes

Landlord and trade work in Brackenlands

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, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

uPVC repair in Brackenlands without replacing anything

The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Whether it’s burns on sills and chips and dents, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Brackenlands questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Brackenlands

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Brackenlands

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

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

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

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price
