Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Stotfold Common questions

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover Stotfold Common?

We do. Technicians travel to Stotfold Common from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Repair or replace in Stotfold Common?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

When to call us in Stotfold Common

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Stotfold Common, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Window frames & sills
  • Conservatory frames
