Landlords, agents and businesses in Exnaboe

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Choosing a repair company

Exnaboe: your questions answered

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Exnaboe. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

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 will come back with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
