About our uPVC repair in Cockwood
We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We work on white uPVC, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels, and people most often call us about holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cockwood
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Cockwood
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Cockwood included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cockwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
