Repair or replace in White-le-Head?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. 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.

How we handle uPVC repair in White-le-Head

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 scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms, across window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Our hiring checklist

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price 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 you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

White-le-Head questions

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, White-le-Head included. There is no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in White-le-Head

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in White-le-Head use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
