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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

About our uPVC repair in Ditchling Common

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches from ladders and furniture and damage during building work, in window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and conservatory frames.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Should you replace it?

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 keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Common problems we fix in Ditchling Common

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

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Ditchling Common

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most customers in Ditchling Common get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Ditchling Common questions

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
