Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Houghall 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.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Houghall
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Clients typically contact us about:

- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
