Landlord and trade work in North Leith

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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 can work around your bookings.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Conservatory frames
  • Doors & door panels
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • White uPVC
  • Window frames & sills

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Signs you need uPVC repair in North Leith

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in North Leith

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for North Leith. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
