Window Repairs we carry out
-
Handles: stiff, loose, snapped or worn window handles replaced with a matching or upgraded handle.
-
Hinges and friction stays: failed hinges or mechanisms that leave a window sagging, dropping or unable to open fully.
-
Locks and locking systems: faulty locks, broken espagnolette mechanisms and windows that won't lock securely.
-
Windows that won't open, close or lock: often caused by dropped sashes or worn parts, and usually fixed by adjusting or replacing the parts rather than the window.
-
Draughts: worn or perished seals and poor alignment replaced or adjusted so the window closes tightly again.
-
Misted or failed double glazing: if the sealed glass unit has failed, we can replace the unit and keep your existing frame. See our glass replacement service
Should I repair or replace my windows?
In many cases a repair is quicker and much cheaper than replacing the whole window. If the frame is sound, replacing the parts or the glass unit is usually enough. If the frames are warped, rotting, or the windows are very old and draughty throughout, replacement may make more sense, and we'll tell you honestly which applies. If you're considering new windows, see our uPVC windows page

Window repair FAQs
Can you repair a misted double glazed unit?
The mist is inside the sealed unit, so it can't be wiped away. The fix is to replace the glass unit, and in most cases we can do this without replacing the frame.
Do you repair windows you didn't fit?
Yes. We repair most uPVC windows regardless of who installed them, subject to parts being available.
How long does a window repair take?
Most handle, hinge and lock repairs take under an hour per window. Sealed unit replacements need the unit made to measure, which takes around 5-7 days.
How much does a window repair cost?
It depends on the parts and the window, but we'll always give you a free quote before starting.
Can a draughty window be fixed without replacing it?
Often, yes. Worn seals or a poorly aligned sash are common causes and can usually be corrected.
