DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

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

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Herstmonceux

For anyone letting property in or around Herstmonceux, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Herstmonceux

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

When to call us in Herstmonceux

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about uPVC repair in Herstmonceux

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

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. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
