UPVC repair near Forbes

What affects the price in Forbes

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Forbes, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How we handle uPVC repair in Forbes

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We’re frequently asked to fix holes from removed fittings and alarms and burns on sills, in window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Forbes: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What does uPVC repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are there extra charges for Forbes?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will it make a mess?

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

Signs you need uPVC repair in Forbes

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills
  • Chips and dents

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
