uPVC repair in Pockthorpe, done in place

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We’re often asked to fix burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture, in window frames & sills, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pockthorpe. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Pockthorpe

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Do you need uPVC repair in Pockthorpe?

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents
  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage

Questions from Pockthorpe

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Are there extra charges for Pockthorpe?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
