Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Hoathly as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

West Hoathly questions

Do you come to West Hoathly?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to West Hoathly and the rest of West Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to West Hoathly. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RH19 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
