Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Do you need uPVC repair in Murkle?
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Murkle
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Highland. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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.

How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
