Questions from Settiscarth
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are there extra charges for Settiscarth?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Settiscarth and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
What else we do in Settiscarth
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Settiscarth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Settiscarth as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Settiscarth
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: 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:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents

Repair or replace in Settiscarth?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
