FAQs for Thorpe Abbotts

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole window, door or sill and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Thorpe Abbotts and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What we are called out for in Thorpe Abbotts

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

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

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Honest limits

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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
