How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit

- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Leaden Knowl. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Leaden Knowl questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
