Help with common uPVC door and window problems

A small change in the way a door or window works can be the first sign of a fault. We can check the fittings, find what needs attention and explain the next step.

Dropped or catching doors

If your door rubs against the frame or needs lifting to close, we can check its alignment, hinges and fittings to identify an adjustment or repair.

Stiff or floppy handles

A handle that is hard to lift or feels loose can indicate a fault elsewhere in the mechanism. We check the cause before recommending a repair.

Gearboxes / mechanisms

We assess faulty gearboxes and multipoint systems, then discuss suitable replacement components where these are needed.

Jammed or insecure doors

If your door is stuck shut or will not lock, call with your postcode. We can discuss availability, assess the problem and explain the work needed.

Window locks and handles

We help with broken, loose or unreliable window handles and fittings, checking what has failed and whether suitable replacements are available.

Window hinge problems

If your window catches or will not close properly, we can check the hinges, alignment and closing fittings to work out what needs attention.

Finding the fault before replacing parts

A door that will not lock can have several possible causes. The problem may be with its alignment, cylinder, gearbox or another part of the locking system. We check how the door closes and how the fittings operate, so the proposed work addresses the cause.

With windows, a troublesome handle or difficulty closing may be linked to a worn fitting, hinge or locking mechanism. Depending on the condition of the window and the availability of suitable parts, an adjustment or component replacement may be enough.

We explain what we find, discuss the repair options and agree the cost before carrying out the work. Afterwards, we check opening, closing and locking as appropriate. Our work also covers suitable locking and operating hardware on uPVC French doors and composite doors.
