UPVC repair for Heads Nook homes

About our uPVC repair in Heads Nook

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We are often asked to fix holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work, on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, white uPVC and conservatory frames.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

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. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Heads Nook clients choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

FAQs for Heads Nook

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Heads Nook is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Heads Nook

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Heads Nook. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

  • Damage during building work

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
