Advice
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Common questions in Wokingham
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Wokingham?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
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.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
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 do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Do you need uPVC repair in Wokingham?
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually 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.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
