UPVC repair for Ingatestone homes

About our uPVC repair in Ingatestone

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We work on white uPVC, conservatory frames and doors & door panels, and the jobs we see most are damage during building work and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

What affects the price in Ingatestone

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in Ingatestone

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Ingatestone: your questions answered

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you come to Ingatestone?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ingatestone from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ingatestone. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
