UPVC repair near Great Gidding

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Great Gidding. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Great Gidding, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Great Gidding

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Great Gidding?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cambridgeshire.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole window, door or sill and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Are there extra charges for Great Gidding?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

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

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

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