Need uPVC repair in River?

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in River as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

uPVC repair in River without replacing anything

We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. We’re frequently asked to fix burns on sills and chips and dents, in white uPVC, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for River. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill

Most customers in River get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in River

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Questions from River

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover River?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to River. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
