- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents

What else we do in Hanley
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- White uPVC
Hanley questions
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work in Hanley?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Hanley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
