Your questions about uPVC repair in High Ruchill

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Glasgow.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Landlord and trade work in High Ruchill

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to High Ruchill. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
