uPVC repair in Finchley, done in place
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We work on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, window frames & sills and white uPVC, and the jobs we see most are damage during building work and scratches from ladders and furniture.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work

Landlord and trade work in Finchley
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
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.
How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Finchley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
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.

Finchley: your questions answered
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Do you work in Finchley?
We do. We send a technician to Finchley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
