What else we do in Howden-le-Wear
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Howden-le-Wear questions
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Howden-le-Wear is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Howden-le-Wear.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
