Questions from Capel Llanilltern
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF5 postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Capel Llanilltern use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
