The Folly questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?
We cover the entire UK, including The Folly and the rest of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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 will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
- Window frames & sills
How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to The Folly. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in The Folly
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in The Folly
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
