About our uPVC repair in Elvaston

The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Common call-outs are for scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms, on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, window frames & sills and doors & door panels.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Elvaston

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Questions from Elvaston

Do you cover Elvaston?

We do. We send a technician to Elvaston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in Elvaston

For anyone letting property in or around Elvaston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

For a price in Elvaston, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
