UPVC repair for Dockeney homes

How we handle uPVC repair in Dockeney

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Whether it’s damage during building work and chips and dents, we can help, on conservatory frames, window frames & sills and coloured and woodgrain uPVC alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Questions from Dockeney

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Dockeney included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What does uPVC repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Dockeney

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
