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 Shincliffe.
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 Shincliffe.
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 Shincliffe.
