UPVC repair in Wolstenholme

How we handle uPVC repair in Wolstenholme

The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We’re frequently asked to fix chips and dents and damage during building work, on window frames & sills, white uPVC and conservatory frames.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Wolstenholme

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Wolstenholme. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

The price 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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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 quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
