UPVC repair in Longshaw

uPVC repair in Longshaw without replacing anything

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Whether it’s holes from removed fittings and alarms and burns on sills, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longshaw

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Longshaw, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Repair or replace in Longshaw?

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

Questions from Longshaw

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Choosing a repair company

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Longshaw, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
