Common questions in Townhead
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Townhead?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What affects the price in Townhead
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture

Landlord and trade work in Townhead
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Glasgow and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace in Townhead?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
