About our uPVC repair in Oreston
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We regularly repair conservatory frames, window frames & sills and white uPVC, and people most frequently call us about burns on sills and holes from removed fittings and alarms.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Oreston. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Oreston
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oreston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Doors & door panels
What else we do in Oreston
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
