Landlords, agents and businesses in Garden Suburb

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Garden Suburb use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Garden Suburb. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Garden Suburb: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Garden Suburb

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, 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. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
