Chesterton questions
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole window, door or sill and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Chesterton
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chesterton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Repairing versus replacing in Chesterton

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
