About our uPVC repair in Sandwick

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Our technicians work on conservatory frames, window frames & sills and doors & door panels, and the jobs we see most are burns on sills and damage during building work.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Landlord and trade work in Sandwick

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandwick use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the entire UK

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sandwick. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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

Sandwick questions

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you need uPVC repair in Sandwick?

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips and dents
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Damage during building work

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
