UPVC repair for Irlam homes

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

uPVC repair in Irlam, done in place

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Our repair technicians work on window frames & sills, conservatory frames and white uPVC, and common reasons people contact us are chips and dents and scratches from ladders and furniture.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Irlam: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Irlam and the rest of Salford. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you cover Irlam?

We do. We send a technician to Irlam for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Repairing versus replacing in Irlam

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Irlam. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • White uPVC
  • Conservatory frames
  • Doors & door panels
  • Window frames & sills

Signs you need uPVC repair in Irlam

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Irlam. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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 will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
