FAQs for Cratfield
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
Across the UK, and that includes Cratfield. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
- White uPVC
