Window Repairs in Wingate

Window Repairs in Wingate

Several of our Wingate-area jobs were for people who had just bought a property. Windows are worth checking at the same time as the doors, and this page explains what to look for and what can be repaired.

No window job is recorded in the Wingate area yet; the examples are from elsewhere and labelled.

We cover the whole Wingate area for this service, including Deaf Hill, Hutton Henry, Station Town, Thornley, Trimdon, Trimdon Station and Wheatley Hill.

Recent Work in the Wingate Area

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

• Lock Change in Wingate: After losing the keys, the customer had tried to drill the lock. It was changed to an anti-snap thumbturn lock.
• Gain Entry and Change 2 Locks in Trimdon Station (Emergency Lockout & Lock Change): There were no keys to a newly bought house; entry was gained to the front door without damage and the front and back door locks changed.

Windows to Check After Moving In

• Does every window lock, and do the locking handles have keys? A lost window key is solved with a new handle and key.
• Do they close tight, or is there a draught at a corner? That is usually worn hinges.
• Do low upstairs windows need lockable handles or restrictors? These were fitted after a move in Sherburn, near Durham (the job).

Windows That Will Not Lock or Open

A window that will not lock usually has a fault in the gearbox or locking points; one that will not open is held by a failed mechanism and is released without damage. Both are repaired without replacing the window. For misted glass, see misted double glazing in Wingate.
