Prices and what affects them
Prices start 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
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
If you’re in Kingsknowe 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
Landlord and trade work in Kingsknowe
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Common questions in Kingsknowe
How much does uPVC repair cost in Kingsknowe?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EH14 postcode.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you need uPVC repair in Kingsknowe?
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
