Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Shelf as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repairing versus replacing in Lower Shelf
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Lower Shelf. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lower Shelf. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
