Recent Window Repair Work in Houghton-le-Spring
A couple of genuine, recently completed jobs from around Houghton-le-Spring:
a return visit to replace a smashed double glazed unit, damaged window hinges in the bathroom and all new window handles throughout the property.
See the full job →the customer had just bought the house and most of the window handles had no keys, so they were changed. A bedroom window with faulty hinges had a large gap and was letting in a lot of draught. The front door lock was also changed, as it was too big and very susceptible to lock snapping.
See the full job →Window Won’t Close or Lock
If your window will not close properly or won’t lock, it may be due to hinge wear, alignment issues or a faulty mechanism. This can leave your property insecure if not addressed.
We inspect the full window setup and repair or replace only the necessary parts to restore proper function.
Window Handles, Hinges and Locks
Handles, hinges and locking systems can wear over time, especially with regular use. We replace faulty components and ensure everything operates smoothly and securely.
If the issue is related to the locking system, see our lock repairs in Houghton-le-Spring.
Window Lock Repairs
A uPVC window locks through its handle: the handle works a gearbox inside the opening part of the window, and the gearbox drives bolts into the frame. When a window will not lock, or will not open, the handle or that mechanism has usually failed. We replace the failed part, so the frame and the glass stay as they are.
If a window is stuck shut, we open it without damaging the frame or the glass first, then fit the new parts and test that it opens, closes and locks properly.
After moving into a house, many people find that some locking window handles have no keys. Changing those handles gives you a working key for every window, as in the Fence Houses job above.
Window not locking or stuck shut? Send a photo of the handle and window on WhatsApp, or call us.
Misted or Failed Double Glazing
If your window is misted or fogged between the panes, the sealed unit has likely failed. This can reduce visibility and insulation performance.
We can replace the glass unit without replacing the full frame. See our misted double glazing service in Houghton-le-Spring.
uPVC Doors and Windows
Many window issues are linked to uPVC systems and alignment problems. If your issue is related to doors or multipoint locks, see our uPVC door lock repairs in Houghton-le-Spring.
