Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

uPVC repair in Ruckinge, done in place

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We are often asked to fix burns on sills and holes from removed fittings and alarms, in coloured and woodgrain uPVC, conservatory frames and window frames & sills.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Landlord and trade work in Ruckinge

Ruckinge: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole window, door or sill and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Ruckinge?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repair or replace in Ruckinge?

Replacing the frame 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 fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most clients in Ruckinge get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
