Repairing versus replacing in Friston
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Friston
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your IP17 postcode.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
