Do you need uPVC repair in Grimness?

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Grimness

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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Grimness. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Grimness

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Grimness.

Do you come to Grimness?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Grimness. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Grimness

For anyone letting property in or around Grimness, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
