When to call us in Hourston
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work

How we handle uPVC repair in Hourston
We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Our technicians work on window frames & sills, doors & door panels and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and people most frequently call us about damage during building work and scratches from ladders and furniture.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hourston. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hourston
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. 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.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

FAQs for Hourston
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Hourston?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you come to Hourston?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hourston and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
