UPVC repair for London Colney homes

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in London Colney, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we handle uPVC repair in London Colney

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Whether it’s scratches from ladders and furniture and damage during building work, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Signs you need uPVC repair in London Colney

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: 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
  • Burns on sills
  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

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. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why London Colney clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to London Colney. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill
  • The material, if you know it

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
