Trusted uPVC repair in Mount Florida

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mount Florida

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

uPVC repair in Mount Florida, done in place

The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Typical jobs include scratches from ladders and furniture and damage during building work, in coloured and woodgrain uPVC, conservatory frames and window frames & sills.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

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 will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace in Mount Florida?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our full price list.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Mount Florida: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
