Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

FAQs for Escott
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Escott.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
