Common questions in Gold Hill

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How soon can you come?

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

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Gold Hill

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Damage during building work
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Chips and dents

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage

Repairing versus replacing in Gold Hill

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Window frames & sills

  • Conservatory frames
  • Doors & door panels

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Gold Hill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
