FAQs for Lanchester
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Lanchester included. Travel is included in the price.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lanchester. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lanchester. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
