uPVC repair in and around Clappersgate: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle uPVC repair in Clappersgate
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. We are frequently asked to fix holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work, on window frames & sills, doors & door panels and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, 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.

Clappersgate: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Do you cover Clappersgate?
We do. We send a technician to Clappersgate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
