uPVC repair at your home in Longformacus

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We regularly repair window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and white uPVC, and people most often call us about holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

If you’re in Longformacus and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace in Longformacus?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add 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.
