What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Questions from Mills Hill

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What affects the price in Mills Hill

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mills Hill

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we are called out for in Mills Hill

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

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