What else we do in Greendykes
Can I fix it myself?
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
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. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Greendykes, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common questions in Greendykes
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Edinburgh.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
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. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
