UPVC repair in Niddrie

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

About our uPVC repair in Niddrie

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Our technicians work on window frames & sills, white uPVC and doors & door panels, and people most often call us about burns on sills and damage during building work.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Niddrie and across Edinburgh. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

When to call us in Niddrie

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Look out for these signs:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Niddrie, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace in Niddrie?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Niddrie

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Niddrie. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
