Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 normally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Drift
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What we’re called out for in Drift
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Look out for these signs:
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
