Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 before booking.
Materials we work on in Long Newton
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- White uPVC
Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
