- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work

How we handle uPVC repair in Thornham Parva
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Whether it’s holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture, we can normally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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.
What we work on
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames

Thornham Parva questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
