Landlords, agents and businesses in Newtown
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common questions in Newtown
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How much does uPVC repair cost in Newtown?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newtown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in Newtown
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can price the job without visiting.
