Repair or replace: which is better?

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in South Alkham, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
