Higher Downs: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you come to Higher Downs?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Higher Downs for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What affects the price in Higher Downs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

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’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair is not the answer

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

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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