Common Window Problems
A window that will not close, lock or open correctly can affect security, ventilation and comfort. Difficulty turning the handle, visible gaps around the sash, draughts or a locking point that no longer engages are all signs that the hardware or alignment should be inspected.
Careful Fault Diagnosis
We check the handle, hinges, locking points, keeps and the position of the sash within the frame. The fault may be caused by one worn component or by several parts being placed under strain. Identifying the cause first helps avoid unnecessary replacement.
Repairing Existing Windows
Where a reliable repair is possible, we aim to retain the existing frame. Work may include adjustment, replacement handles or hinges, locking-mechanism repairs and compatible parts for older systems. If a component is obsolete, we explain the available alternatives before proceeding.
Security and Weather Resistance
Correct alignment helps the locking points engage properly and may also reduce draughts. Although we cannot promise that every draught is hardware-related, adjustment and replacement of worn components can improve the seal and prevent further damage.

uPVC Window Repair FAQs
Can you repair a window that will not close or lock?
We inspect the handle, hinges, locking mechanism and sash alignment. Adjustment or replacement of worn hardware may resolve the problem, depending on the fault and parts available.
Do I need to replace the whole window?
Not always. Where the frame is suitable and a reliable repair is possible, we aim to retain it and repair or replace the affected components.
Can window repairs help with draughts?
Correcting alignment or worn hardware may improve closure and reduce gaps. Draughts can also involve seals or other causes, so we inspect the window before recommending work.
What should I do if the handle is stiff?
Avoid forcing the handle. Tell us whether the window opens, closes and locks, and whether any part feels loose. Call if the window cannot be secured and provide your Battersea postcode.
Common uPVC Window Equipment and Its Uses
Espagnolette handles turn a spindle that operates the locking strip, while cockspur handles secure the sash against a frame-mounted wedge. Friction-stay hinges support the opening sash and control its movement.
Locking cams engage with keeps around the frame, and restrictors limit how far a window opens. Weather seals help reduce draughts when the sash closes correctly.
Suitable parts depend on the window design, dimensions and ventilation requirements.
