UPVC repair near Skimpot

uPVC repair at your home in Skimpot

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We regularly repair window frames & sills, white uPVC and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from ladders and furniture and burns on sills.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Skimpot questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Luton. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Skimpot

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Common problems we fix in Skimpot

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
