When to call us in High Shincliffe
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to care for the finish
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

FAQs for High Shincliffe
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for uPVC repair in High Shincliffe?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
What affects the price in High Shincliffe
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
