UPVC repair for Wickford homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wickford

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How we handle uPVC repair in Wickford

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Common call-outs are for scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms, across doors & door panels, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Wickford

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you match woodgrain 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. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Wickford included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 generally the cheaper route.

What we are called out for in Wickford

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
