Landlord and trade work in Dalston
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dalston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Dalston. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your E8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Dalston questions
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How much does uPVC repair cost in Dalston?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Dalston is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
