What affects the price in Leadgate
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of

- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
uPVC repair in Leadgate without replacing anything
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. If you are dealing with scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms, we can generally put it right.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Leadgate and across County Durham. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Leadgate
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
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. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
Everywhere in the UK, Leadgate included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
