DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repair or replace in Westruther?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Westruther: your questions answered
What does uPVC repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TD3 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
