FAQs for Hessett
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square

Repairing versus replacing in Hessett
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
