UPVC repair in Hett

Hett questions

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

uPVC repair in Hett without replacing anything

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Typical jobs include holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work, in window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and conservatory frames.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hett. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Hett

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price
