What else we do in East Craigs
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
East Craigs: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Common problems we fix in East Craigs
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
