UPVC repair for Poplar homes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

uPVC repair at your home in Poplar

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Our repair technicians work on window frames & sills, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and people most often call us about chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Common problems we fix in Poplar

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Customers normally contact us about:

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

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Poplar. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

FAQs for Poplar

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

Across the UK, so Poplar is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you come to Poplar?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Poplar from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame 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. We don’t 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.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
