Questions from Stromness

Are there extra charges for Stromness?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Stromness included. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

About our uPVC repair in Stromness

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Typical jobs include scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms, across doors & door panels, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and window frames & sills.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. 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.

Common problems we fix in Stromness

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Stromness?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
