The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Elephant and Castle

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Elephant and Castle. Prices do not change with location.

Do you come to Elephant and Castle?

We do. Technicians travel to Elephant and Castle from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Repair or replace in Elephant and Castle?

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Elephant and Castle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Elephant and Castle

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Elephant and Castle

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Elephant and Castle and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
