FAQs for Old Tree
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Old Tree?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CT3 postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

We do. We send a technician to Old Tree for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
uPVC repair in Old Tree, done in place
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Old Tree
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
