UPVC repair near Old Ford

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Old Ford

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

uPVC repair in Old Ford without replacing anything

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Our repair technicians work on doors & door panels, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and window frames & sills, and the jobs we see most are burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Old Ford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Old Ford

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is repairing better 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.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we’re called out for in Old Ford

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.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Ford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
