How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. 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 match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Advice

Shortfield Common questions

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover Shortfield Common?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Shortfield Common. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Shortfield Common.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

When to call us in Shortfield Common

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

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shortfield Common. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shortfield Common

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What affects the price in Shortfield Common

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
