Repair or replace in Hummerbeck?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, 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 repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Hummerbeck

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Are there extra charges for Hummerbeck?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you cover the whole of County Durham?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

If you manage property in Hummerbeck, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Related advice

What affects the price in Hummerbeck

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hummerbeck. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
