UPVC repair for Penshaw homes

Landlord and trade work in Penshaw

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

About our uPVC repair in Penshaw

We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Typical jobs include damage during building work and burns on sills, on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, white uPVC and doors & door panels.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Questions from Penshaw

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Penshaw?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you cover Penshaw?

We do. We send a technician to Penshaw for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover the entire of Sunderland?

The entire UK, including all of Sunderland. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

What we’re called out for in Penshaw

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Penshaw

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
