Window Hinge Repair in Sunderland
This page is for the hinges on uPVC windows (the friction hinges along the top and bottom of an opening window): a window that has dropped, catches on the frame as it closes, will not close tightly, or lets in a draught down one side. Worn hinges also strain the handle and locking mechanism, so a window that is hard to close is often hard to lock as well.
Worn hinges are replaced and the window and its glass are kept. Open the window and send a photo of the hinges and the handle side on WhatsApp, with a short video of it catching if you can; it helps us judge which hinge or mechanism is needed before attending. If the window will not open at all, or its handle or lock has failed, see window repair in Sunderland.

Signs Your Window Hinges Need Replacing
If your window feels stiff, catches when closing or leaves a visible gap near the hinge side, the hinges may be worn or failing.
Ignoring the issue can place additional strain on the locking mechanism and eventually stop the window from closing correctly.
