Portswood questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you cover the whole of Southampton?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Portswood. Prices do not change with location.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How much does uPVC repair cost in Portswood?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Portswood, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portswood use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairing versus replacing in Portswood
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. 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.
