FAQs for Writtle

Do you come to Writtle?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Writtle and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Writtle?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When to call us in Writtle

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Get a quote

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 price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Repair or replace in Writtle?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
