DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Cross Street

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Look out for any of the following:

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

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Landlord and trade work in Cross Street

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Cross Street

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Cross Street: your questions answered

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cross Street.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Cross Street

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
