UPVC repair in Hollacombe

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hollacombe. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

uPVC repair at your home in Hollacombe

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We regularly repair white uPVC, window frames & sills and conservatory frames, and people most frequently call us about burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Hollacombe

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.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Chips and dents
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Damage during building work

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Advice

Hollacombe: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Hollacombe?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you come to Hollacombe?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hollacombe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hollacombe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repairing versus replacing in Hollacombe

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
