Window Repairs in Seaham

Window Repairs in Seaham

This page covers uPVC windows in Seaham that stick, will not shut tight, will not lock or will not open. Each of those has a different usual cause, set out below.

We have no window job recorded in the Seaham area yet; the examples are from elsewhere and say where.

We cover the whole Seaham area for this service, including Cold Hesledon, Dalton-le-Dale, Dawdon, Deneside, Hawthorn, Murton and Parkside.

Recent Work in the Seaham Area

Genuine jobs we have completed in the Seaham area, of any kind (not necessarily window repair work):

• Gearbox Replacement in Seaham: The door locked and unlocked but would not open because the latch was not retracting; it was opened without damage and a new gearbox fitted.
• Gain Entry and Gearbox Replacement in Murton (Gearbox Replacement): A faulty mechanism had jammed the latch so the front door would not open; the latch had to be ground off to release it and a new mechanism was fitted.
• Realignment of 2 Doors in Murton (Door Realignment): Two uPVC doors were hard to lock; both were realigned.

Which Part Usually Fails

• Will not lock: the gearbox behind the handle or the locking points along the edge. In Peterlee two windows had mechanisms that no longer worked the shootbolts, and both were changed (the job).
• Will not open: a failed mechanism holding it shut. In Boldon Colliery the window was opened without damage and the mechanism replaced (the job).
• Will not shut tight, or drops: worn hinges, replaced so the window closes squarely.
• Handle loose or broken: the handle is replaced, with a key if you want a locking one.
