Trusted uPVC repair in Shacklewell

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shacklewell

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

About our uPVC repair in Shacklewell

We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. We are frequently asked to fix scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms, across doors & door panels, white uPVC and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

When to call us in Shacklewell

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Shacklewell questions

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Shacklewell?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work in Shacklewell?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shacklewell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shacklewell, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
