How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

uPVC repair in Dicklant without replacing anything

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We are frequently asked to fix holes from removed fittings and alarms and chips and dents, across conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and window frames & sills.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

FAQs for Dicklant

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dicklant use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What uPVC repair costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we are called out for in Dicklant

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Dicklant?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
