Our hiring checklist

Fulwell questions

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Fulwell. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you come to Fulwell?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Fulwell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in Fulwell and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
