How we handle uPVC repair in Chatham
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We work on doors & door panels, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and white uPVC, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms.
We carry out snagging repairs to uPVC for builders and developers, as well as repairs for homeowners and landlords in Chatham.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What we’re called out for in Chatham
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
If you manage a building such as Wayfield Primary School, we repair windows and doors as well as work in homes.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 typically the cheaper route.
