What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- 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 will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Grimbister
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Grimbister
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grimbister as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Grimbister: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the entire of the Orkney Islands?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
