Our hiring checklist

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Takeley, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Takeley questions

What does uPVC repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Takeley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Takeley customers choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Honest limits

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Most clients in Takeley get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
