When a window stops working as it should
Make opening easier
We can address faults that make windows stiff, difficult to close or awkward to operate.
Restore secure closure
Locks, handles and other working parts can affect how securely a window closes, so these are checked as part of the repair.
Deal with wear before it worsens
Timely attention to damaged or worn components can help prevent a manageable fault from becoming a larger problem.
A better starting point than replacing the whole window
A window that sticks, catches or refuses to lock does not necessarily need to be replaced. The problem may be with a hinge, handle, lock, alignment or seal, while the main window remains perfectly serviceable. We assess what is actually causing the difficulty and recommend the appropriate repair. This approach also applies to uPVC windows, where individual components can often be addressed without removing the complete unit.
Practical repairs for everyday window problems
Draughts, difficult operation and worn fittings can gradually make a perfectly usable window frustrating to live with. We can investigate these issues and work on the components responsible, helping restore smoother operation and better closure. If the problem is related to the glazing rather than the window itself, we can also identify that distinction so the repair is not aimed at the wrong part.
Frequently asked questions
Why has my window suddenly become difficult to open?
The cause could be worn hardware, movement in the alignment, a damaged component or another issue affecting the opening mechanism. We assess the window to establish what is causing the problem.
Can you repair the locking mechanism on a window?
Yes. Faulty or worn locks can affect both operation and security, and we can assess the locking components as part of the repair.
Are draughty windows always caused by damaged seals?
Not necessarily. Draughts can result from seals, alignment, hardware or other parts of the window not closing correctly. We look at the source of the problem before recommending work.
