Do you need uPVC repair in Great Altcar?

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.

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

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

FAQs for Great Altcar

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Great Altcar?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
