Carrick Knowe: your questions answered
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What affects the price in Carrick Knowe
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Carrick Knowe. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Carrick Knowe
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carrick Knowe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
