Common questions in Fairwater

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What does uPVC repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Window frames & sills
  • Conservatory frames
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • White uPVC
  • Doors & door panels

When to call us in Fairwater

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What affects the price in Fairwater

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repair or replace in Fairwater?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Fairwater

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairwater as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
