Pickering Nook questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE16 postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
About our uPVC repair in Pickering Nook
We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms, across window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and conservatory frames.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Pickering Nook. The price depends on:

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pickering Nook. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
