Landlord and trade work in Oakthorpe
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakthorpe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Oakthorpe. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Oakthorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
When to call us in Oakthorpe
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
