What else we do in South Hornchurch
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including South Hornchurch. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair can’t fix
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 pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in South Hornchurch

When to call us in South Hornchurch
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Should you replace it?
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. 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.
