About our uPVC repair in Hartest Hill

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Whether it’s holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hartest Hill

If you manage property in Hartest Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Hartest Hill?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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 usually the cheaper route.

What we are called out for in Hartest Hill

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Burns on sills
  • Chips and dents
  • Damage during building work
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
