My door’s lock is broken. Do I need a new door?
Failed door locks don’t usually call for a full door replacement. In most cases we are able to source a replacement lock or a repair mechanism that can be fitted to resolve the issue.
My door is sagging and is difficult to lock
Door sagging, especially in UPVC doors, is a common occurrence when, for example, the hinges begin to wear down and fail to hold the weight of the door. In most cases we can resolve this by replacing the hinges or re-adjusting the door if the hinges are salvageable.
My windows are letting water in. Is this solvable?
UPVC windows can sometimes allow water ingress due to improper installation, wear and tear of seals, or drainage issues. If the seals around the windows deteriorate, they may fail to keep out moisture. To solve this problem, it’s essential to ensure proper installation, and regularly check and replace worn seals.
My window is jammed and I can’t get it open
Windows can get stuck for a variety of reasons, most commonly rusted or worn friction hinges or locking mechanisms. These can be replaced. If this is an issue you are facing, please contact us for a quote.

My window has developed a draught. Can this be fixed?
Window gaskets can perish over time, especially in hot conditions. These can be replaced. Let us know and we will do our best to find a replacement seal for your window’s profile so you don’t lose heat in the winter.
