UPVC repair for Hartley homes

uPVC repair in Hartley without replacing anything

We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We work on window frames & sills, doors & door panels and white uPVC, and people most often call us about damage during building work and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We 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 booking.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Hartley

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hartley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

  • Burns on sills

Our hiring checklist

Questions from Hartley

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Hartley?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PL3 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hartley.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
