DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Gisleham

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in Gisleham

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Gisleham

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

Everywhere in the UK, Gisleham included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Landlord and trade work in Gisleham

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
