Lower Hardres: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Lower Hardres included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Lower Hardres
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
