Houston questions

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Houston included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Houston?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PA6 postcode.

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Houston. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Houston

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Houston use us as well as householders. 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 things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Doors & door panels
  • White uPVC
  • Window frames & sills
  • Conservatory frames

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PA6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Houston

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to look after the finish
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
