FAQs for Shimpling

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Do you cover Shimpling?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shimpling and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What affects the price in Shimpling

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Advice

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Conservatory frames
  • Window frames & sills
  • Doors & door panels
  • White uPVC
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Shimpling

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shimpling use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
