  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.

Questions from Lower Thurvaston

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Lower Thurvaston is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Thurvaston

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Thurvaston

A new window, door 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. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
