For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Knowle
If you manage property in Knowle, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Knowle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in Knowle and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Knowle
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Repair or replace in Knowle?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. 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.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
