Landlords, agents and businesses in Horncastle
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Horncastle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Signs you need uPVC repair in Horncastle
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
