Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What else we do in Carrville
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Signs you need uPVC repair in Carrville
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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Repairing versus replacing in Carrville
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
