FAQs for Elstree
Do you come to Elstree?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Elstree for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Elstree and the rest of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Elstree. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
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.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Should you replace it?
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. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Elstree. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we’re called out for in Elstree
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
