UPVC repair near Hey

Do you need uPVC repair in Hey?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Why repair rather than replace?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Hey

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Hey, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

FAQs for Hey

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 you’ll get one combined price.

Do you cover the entire of Oldham?

Across the UK, and that includes Hey. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
