Common questions in Platts Common

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Platts Common, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The size and number of damaged areas
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

The material, if you know it
A clear, close picture of the problem area
One picture of the whole window, door or sill
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

First the frame or panel is cleaned.
Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
We smooth the repair.
We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price
