Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
uPVC repair in Great Hormead without replacing anything
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Common call-outs are for damage during building work and burns on sills, in window frames & sills, conservatory frames and doors & door panels.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Great Hormead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
