Landlords, agents and businesses in Cathedral Quarter
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Cathedral Quarter, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cathedral Quarter. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

When to call us in Cathedral Quarter
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
