UPVC repair for Howbeck homes

How we handle uPVC repair in Howbeck

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. If you are dealing with holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work, we can help.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the entire UK

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Howbeck, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
