Gatehouse of Fleet questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Gatehouse of Fleet?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work in Gatehouse of Fleet?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Gatehouse of Fleet. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, 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 Gatehouse of Fleet. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access 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:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Gatehouse of Fleet and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
