Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common problems we fix in East Law
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
East Law: your questions answered
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do the materials 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.
Repair or replace in East Law?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in East Law
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole window, door or sill, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
