DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Little Thorpe. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Little Thorpe

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Common questions in Little Thorpe

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
