About our uPVC repair in Longside
The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Our technicians work on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, doors & door panels and white uPVC, and common reasons people get in touch are damage during building work and holes from removed fittings and alarms.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Longside as everywhere else we work. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Common questions in Longside
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover Longside?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Longside. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are there extra charges for Longside?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not 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.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not 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
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longside
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Longside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Longside. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise 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.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
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 leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
