UPVC repair in Lochend

When to call us in Lochend

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage during building work
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

How we handle uPVC repair in Lochend

We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Our technicians work on white uPVC, conservatory frames and window frames & sills, and people most frequently call us about holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Lochend: your questions answered

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What does uPVC repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH7 postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Edinburgh.

Do you come to Lochend?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lochend and the rest of Edinburgh. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the frame 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. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lochend. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can price the job.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
