For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Doors & door panels
- Window frames & sills
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC
Do you need uPVC repair in Jockey End?
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Jockey End, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairing versus replacing in Jockey End
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Related advice
Your questions about uPVC repair in Jockey End
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
