UPVC repair near Hales Place

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Hales Place, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

uPVC repair in Hales Place, done in place

The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. We are often asked to fix scratches from ladders and furniture and chips and dents, on white uPVC, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Hales Place

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Hales Place

Which areas do you work in?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hales Place. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
