FAQs for Elvington

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Common problems we fix in Elvington

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Damage during building work
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Chips and dents

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Elvington

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Elvington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Elvington and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
