Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
