Landlord and trade work in Cherry Hinton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we handle uPVC repair in Cherry Hinton
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Common call-outs are for scratches from ladders and furniture and burns on sills, in white uPVC, window frames & sills and conservatory frames.
In and around Cherry Hinton, uPVC repair is normally a short visit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. For a home around Cherry Hinton where the window, door or sill is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Do you need uPVC repair in Cherry Hinton?
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you look after a building such as Colville Primary School, windows and doors can be repaired in place too.
