Your questions about uPVC repair in Lydford

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

When can you do it?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

When to call us in Lydford

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills
  • Chips and dents

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging 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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Window frames & sills
  • Conservatory frames
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Doors & door panels
  • White uPVC

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Lydford get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Lydford

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
