Common window faults we repair

Window won’t close / won’t open / stuck

If your uPVC window is stuck open/closed, won’t latch, or won’t shut properly, it’s usually a mechanism, hinge wear or alignment issue — not a full window replacement.

Stuck open / stuck closed / jammed
Not latching / not locking
Rubbing, dropping, draughts from misalignment

uPVC window mechanism repair

We diagnose and repair the working parts inside the window:

Espag / gearbox
Window locks, Mechanisms
Tilt & turn mechanism faults

Hinges & alignment

Worn friction hinges or a dropped opening section can cause gaps, rubbing and poor sealing. We replace hinges where needed and realign the window.

Opening section drop / rubbing

FAQ

Why won’t my uPVC window close?

Most often it’s hinge wear, a dropped opening section, or a failed espag/gearbox causing misalignment. We diagnose the fault and repair/adjust the window.

My window is stuck open / stuck closed — can you help?

Yes — we deal with jammed mechanisms, seized handles and alignment issues to get the window operating and closing securely again.

Can you check our other windows and spot early signs of failure?

Yes — we can assess your other windows during the visit and flag anything close to failure (hinges, alignment, handles and mechanisms).

You can also do a quick pre-check yourself before we arrive:

Open the window fully, then close it slowly and watch the gap between the frame and the opening section. If you can see a gap, feel draughts, or notice a click/shift as it closes, the hinges may be worn and could fail soon.
If the handle feels very tight, moves in jerks, or the handle is loose at the fixing point, the mechanism and/or handle may be wearing out and is often best replaced before it jams.

Do you repair window locks, mechanisms, hinges and handles?

Yes — in most cases window hardware fails completely and the correct fix is replacement with new parts. That’s why we carry the common parts we need to replace locks, mechanisms, hinges and handles and get the window working properly again.

Do you do misted/cracked glass?

Yes, as an optional extra where relevant as part of a wider repair. We don’t take glass-only / supply-only jobs.
