Work for landlords and builders

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Canning Town questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in Canning Town?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Canning Town for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you need uPVC repair in Canning Town?
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Common reasons people in Canning Town contact us are:
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
For most jobs, photos 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Canning Town
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
