Book uPVC repair in Howden

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we handle uPVC repair in Howden

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We work on window frames & sills, doors & door panels and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and people most often call us about scratches from ladders and furniture and burns on sills.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EH54 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Questions from Howden

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover the whole of West Lothian?

We work UK-wide, so Howden is covered. Prices do not change with location.

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

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in Howden

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Howden as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 before booking.

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
