For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Oaklands, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
uPVC repair in Oaklands, done in place
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Our technicians work on window frames & sills, white uPVC and doors & door panels, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and dents and scratches from ladders and furniture.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Doors & door panels
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
What we are called out for in Oaklands
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

FAQs for Oaklands
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire window, door or sill and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
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. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
