For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Dyke use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from High Dyke
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens next?

Are there extra charges for High Dyke?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
