Questions from Piershill
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire window, door or sill and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Piershill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Piershill. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
