FAQs for Preston
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When to call us in Preston
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Honest limits

- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- White uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
