DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

Rickarton questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rickarton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your AB39 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
