Your questions about uPVC repair in Cardonald
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When to call us in Cardonald

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
