Your questions about uPVC repair in Silverburn
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Silverburn and the surrounding area
Silverburn is about 2 miles west of Penicuik, in Midlothian. Jobs in Silverburn are booked in like any other job: a fixed price from your pictures, then a visit to do the work. Silverburn is one of 33 places in Midlothian where we work. We work right across the region, from Silverburn to Edinburgh (8 miles away).
We cover every part of EH26. You will find streets such as Biggar Road and Hopelands Road.

Near you in Silverburn

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Silverburn
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Silverburn as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What else we do in Silverburn
Should you replace it?

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Silverburn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
