Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Duddingston: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Duddingston. Prices don’t change with location.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
