Common problems we fix in Heddle

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

What affects the price in Heddle

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Heddle

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair is not 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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

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. Prices start from £95. What it costs 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Questions from Heddle

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you cover Heddle?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Heddle. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
