Landlords, agents and businesses in Debden

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Debden

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

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common questions in Debden

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are there extra charges for Debden?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Do you cover Debden?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Debden from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
