FAQs for Essendon
Do you work in Essendon?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Essendon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
