DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in Houghton-le-Spring and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlord and trade work in Houghton-le-Spring
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Houghton-le-Spring as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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 before booking.

Common questions in Houghton-le-Spring
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you cover the whole of Sunderland?
The entire UK, including all of Sunderland. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover Houghton-le-Spring?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Houghton-le-Spring for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
