Landlord and trade work in Ford
For anyone letting property in or around Ford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Ford
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Ford and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- White uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Doors & door panels
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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 photos, as it can add time.
