Landlord and trade work in Trash Green
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
uPVC repair in Trash Green, done in place
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. If you’re dealing with scratches from ladders and furniture and damage during building work, we can generally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Do you need uPVC repair in Trash Green?
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

What your quote should include

- How soon you can use it again

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Trash Green

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

Common questions in Trash Green
Can pets and children be at home?
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.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
