When to call us in Thorpe Hamlet
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Burns on sills
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
