Your questions about uPVC repair in Handforth
Are there extra charges for Handforth?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Handforth
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Handforth use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
