UPVC repair in Great Urswick

About our uPVC repair in Great Urswick

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. If you are dealing with scratches from ladders and furniture and damage during building work, we can help, on white uPVC, doors & door panels and window frames & sills alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 normally the cheaper route.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace in Great Urswick?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Great Urswick. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

10 questions to ask before booking

FAQs for Great Urswick

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
