UPVC repair for Ridgeway homes

How we handle uPVC repair in Ridgeway

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We are often asked to fix chips and dents and damage during building work, in doors & door panels, window frames & sills and conservatory frames.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Should you replace it?

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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What affects the price in Ridgeway

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, 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. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

  • White uPVC
  • Window frames & sills
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Conservatory frames
  • Doors & door panels

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we’re called out for in Ridgeway

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
