Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How we handle uPVC repair in Purley
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We work on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, window frames & sills and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are damage during building work and chips and dents.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Purley?
A new window, door 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. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Purley
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Purley. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice
FAQs for Purley
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
