For landlords and businesses

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Hobbs Cross

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Hobbs Cross clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the entire UK

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Hobbs Cross

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Hobbs Cross questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you come to Hobbs Cross?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hobbs Cross. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
