If your double glazing has gone cloudy, foggy, or has visible moisture or dirt trapped between the panes, the sealed unit has failed — but that doesn't mean the whole window needs replacing. In most cases we can simply replace the glass unit itself and leave your existing frame exactly where it is. This is usually significantly cheaper than a full window replacement, and because the frame, hinges and locking mechanism are untouched, there's far less disruption too. The same applies to cracked or broken panes: where the frame is sound, we'll re-glaze it rather than rip everything out.
We supply and fit replacement units to match your original specification — double or triple glazed, toughened, obscure or Georgian bar — so the finished job looks exactly as it should.
A lock that's stiff, won't turn, or has stopped engaging properly is both an inconvenience and a security risk. uPVC door and window locks are precision mechanisms, and after years of daily use it's common for the multipoint locking mechanism, cylinder, or keeps to wear out or start misaligning. We repair and replace door and window locks across all the major systems, re-key cylinders where needed, and check the alignment of the whole mechanism so it isn't just fixed today but stays that way.
Loose, snapped, or stiff window and door handles are one of the most common — and most straightforward — repairs we carry out. Whether it's an espagnolette window handle that's seized up or a door handle that's come away from the spindle, we carry a wide range of replacement handles in different finishes and styles, so your new handle matches the rest of your home rather than looking like an obvious patch-up.
If your composite or uPVC door has started dragging on the doorstep or carpet, catching on the frame, or needs a shoulder-barge to shut properly, it's almost always down to the hinges dropping or the door settling out of alignment over time — not a fault with the door itself. We adjust and re-hang doors, replace worn hinges, and reset the compression so the door closes smoothly and seals properly again, which also helps stop draughts and heat loss.
Patio and sliding doors take a lot of wear on their rollers and tracks, and over time this shows up as a door that's heavy to slide, jumps off the track, or won't sit flush when closed. We service and replace sliding door rollers and tracks, clean out debris that's built up in the running channel, and re-align the door so it glides properly again — far cheaper than replacing the whole sliding door system.
Windows and doors have a lot of moving parts, and we cover the full range of common faults beyond the big ones above, including:

In most cases, yes. If the frame, hinges and locks are in good condition, replacing just the failed glass unit is usually possible and is typically a lot cheaper than a full window replacement.
The main sign is misting, fogging, or visible moisture between the panes — this means the seal on the sealed unit has failed. A cracked or chipped pane is the other obvious case.
Not usually. Dragging or sticking doors are almost always caused by dropped hinges or the door settling out of alignment, both of which can normally be adjusted or repaired rather than replaced.
