What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Failed or misted double glazing units

- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Throston
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Throston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Throston
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
