About our uPVC repair in High Forge

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Common call-outs are for chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms, across conservatory frames, window frames & sills and white uPVC.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Landlord and trade work in High Forge

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Forge use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.

Do you need uPVC repair in High Forge?

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, 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.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price
