How we handle uPVC repair in Forder

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Common call-outs are for scratches from ladders and furniture and burns on sills, in window frames & sills, white uPVC and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Forder. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Forder use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairing versus replacing in Forder

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Forder customers choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Forder

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Are there extra charges for Forder?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
