Questions from Dunoon
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover Dunoon?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dunoon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
