Ridgewood: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits 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 any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What affects the price in Ridgewood
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole window, door or sill, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
