When to call us in Thornley

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work

Before you book anyone

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Thornley

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
