Common questions in Wivenhoe Cross

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

If you are in Wivenhoe Cross and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Wivenhoe Cross

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
