Questions from The Grange

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, The Grange included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What does uPVC repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EH9 postcode.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in The Grange?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we can’t put right

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Grange

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
