Your questions about uPVC repair in Northfield
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Do you work in Northfield?
We do. We send a technician to Northfield for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What affects the price in Northfield
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Northfield. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos

- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repair or replace in Northfield?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
