UPVC repair near Stichill

uPVC repair at your home in Stichill

The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Common call-outs are for holes from removed fittings and alarms and burns on sills, on doors & door panels, window frames & sills and conservatory frames.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before booking

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

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

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

When to call us in Stichill

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.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Damage during building work
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Chips and dents

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 will not last.

What affects the price in Stichill

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Stichill questions

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you come to Stichill?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Stichill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
