Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. 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.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in South Moor

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you come to South Moor?

We do. We send a technician to South Moor for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Moor

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in South Moor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we cannot 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

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. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
