Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we’re called out for in Fordham

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

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

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fordham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Same prices wherever you are

Questions from Fordham

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do I have to be there?

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

What affects the price in Fordham

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
