Questions from Craigside

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you come to Craigside?

We do. We send a technician to Craigside for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

About our uPVC repair in Craigside

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We work on window frames & sills, conservatory frames and doors & door panels, and common reasons people get in touch are burns on sills and damage during building work.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Doors & door panels
  • Window frames & sills
  • Conservatory frames
  • White uPVC

Common problems we fix in Craigside

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work

Before you book anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Craigside

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
