FAQs for Red Hills
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- White uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
