Common End questions

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?

Everywhere in the UK, Common End included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you need uPVC repair in Common End?

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Look out for these signs:

  • Burns on sills
  • Chips and dents
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 usually the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Repairing versus replacing in Common End

A new window, door or sill costs far more, 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why Common End clients choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
