Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
For a price in Ravelston, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlord and trade work in Ravelston
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Ravelston: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Ravelston included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Advice
DIY kit or professional 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
In fairness, 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Ravelston

Repair or replace in Ravelston?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
