Trusted uPVC repair in Yarnacott

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Yarnacott, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Yarnacott?

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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Yarnacott questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you come to Yarnacott?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Yarnacott from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Honest limits

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
