UPVC repair in Herne Hill

Landlord and trade work in Herne Hill

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Herne Hill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

uPVC repair in Herne Hill, done in place

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We work on white uPVC, doors & door panels and window frames & sills, and the jobs we see most are burns on sills and chips and dents.

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. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Do you need uPVC repair in Herne Hill?

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

  • Chips and dents
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

Repair or replace in Herne Hill?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Herne Hill customers choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything

What affects the price in Herne Hill

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Herne Hill, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Questions from Herne Hill

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.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Do you work in Herne Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Herne Hill and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
