Common questions in Thankerton
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your ML12 postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- Window frames & sills
