West Dulwich: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Window frames & sills
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
- Conservatory frames
What affects the price in West Dulwich
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Dulwich use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
