Your questions about uPVC repair in Hornsey
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the entire of Greater London?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Hornsey?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
uPVC repair at your home in Hornsey
We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. If you’re dealing with holes from removed fittings and alarms and chips and dents, we can typically put it right, on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, conservatory frames and white uPVC alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What else we do in Hornsey
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hornsey as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Hornsey
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need uPVC repair in Hornsey?
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Burns on sills
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
