Common problems we fix in Gilling East

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

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

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Gilling East

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Gilling East get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our prices page.

What a repair cannot fix

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

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

What we work on

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

Common questions in Gilling East

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
