What we’re called out for in Littlestead Green
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Littlestead Green
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
What affects the price in Littlestead Green
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
- Window frames & sills
Repair or replace in Littlestead Green?
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
