Need uPVC repair in Wester Hailes?

What affects the price in Wester Hailes

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

uPVC repair at your home in Wester Hailes

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We are often asked to fix chips and dents and damage during building work, in window frames & sills, doors & door panels and white uPVC.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wester Hailes

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wester Hailes use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Wester Hailes

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
