Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caldwell use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Take a look at our full price list.

What affects the price in Caldwell

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Caldwell. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What we are called out for in Caldwell

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

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