uPVC repair in Follingsby without replacing anything
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. If you’re dealing with holes from removed fittings and alarms and chips and dents, we can typically put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Follingsby, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Follingsby use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
