Common questions in Chalkhouse Green
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Chalkhouse Green. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
uPVC repair in Chalkhouse Green without replacing anything
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Typical jobs include scratches from ladders and furniture and chips and dents, in conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and white uPVC.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chalkhouse Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Reading and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Chalkhouse Green. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
