Colney Butts: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Colney Butts. Prices do not change with location.

Common problems we fix in Colney Butts
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
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 leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
