10 questions to ask before booking

Dufton questions

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dufton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What affects the price in Dufton

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Dufton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dufton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
