Mountcastle: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Most clients in Mountcastle get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mountcastle
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.
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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
