For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we’re called out for in Carleton
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
Can I fix it myself?
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 often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
