Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

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

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

FAQs for Holtsmere End

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole window, door or sill and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What affects the price in Holtsmere End

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Holtsmere End

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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Damage during building work

Before you book anyone
