Landlords, agents and businesses in Elmstead

If you manage property in Elmstead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • White uPVC
  • Conservatory frames
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Window frames & sills
  • Doors & door panels

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Elmstead. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Elmstead

Do you work in Elmstead?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Elmstead. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Elmstead is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Elmstead

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Repair or replace in Elmstead?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.
