UPVC repair near Layer-de-la-Haye

uPVC repair in Layer-de-la-Haye, done in place

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We regularly repair coloured and woodgrain uPVC, conservatory frames and window frames & sills, and people most frequently call us about burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Layer-de-la-Haye use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Layer-de-la-Haye. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
