UPVC repair for Roborough homes

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

About our uPVC repair in Roborough

We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. If you’re dealing with burns on sills and damage during building work, we can normally put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Roborough as everywhere else we work. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Roborough

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What does uPVC repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PL6 postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

When to call us in Roborough

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Roborough. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
