What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole window, door or sill, we can price the job.

Common problems we fix in Southhouse

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to look after the finish
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
