Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Carleton: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you come to Carleton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Carleton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Conservatory frames
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Doors & door panels
  • Window frames & sills
  • White uPVC

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carleton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Carleton, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
