When to call us in Iveston

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

How we handle uPVC repair in Iveston

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We are frequently asked to fix damage during building work and burns on sills, in conservatory frames, window frames & sills and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can price the job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Iveston

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
