UPVC repair for Thorn homes

How we handle uPVC repair in Thorn

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Whether it’s burns on sills and holes from removed fittings and alarms, we can help, on doors & door panels, conservatory frames and white uPVC alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

FAQs for Thorn

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are there extra charges for Thorn?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole window, door or sill and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work in Thorn?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Thorn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
