Woodthorpe questions
How much does uPVC repair cost in Woodthorpe?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you come to Woodthorpe?
We do. We send a technician to Woodthorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodthorpe

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
