- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Your questions about uPVC repair in Peterlee
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Peterlee included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Peterlee
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
