Landlords, agents and businesses in Isle of Whithorn

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Isle of Whithorn and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we’re called out for in Isle of Whithorn

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace in Isle of Whithorn?

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. Prices start from £95.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Isle of Whithorn

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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 pictures.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
