Repair and installation of windows
Window Repair and Installation
Well fitted windows keep your home comfortable, secure, and quiet. If you are dealing with drafts, sticking sashes, fogged glass, or damaged frames, timely repair can restore performance and prevent further issues. When replacement is the better option, a careful installation ensures smooth operation and reliable insulation for years to come.
We provide window repair and window installation for residential and commercial properties. Our work covers modern uPVC and aluminum systems, timber windows, and many common hardware types. Every job starts with a clear assessment, practical options, and a plan that suits your budget and your property.
Window Repairs That Restore Comfort and Security
Many window problems can be fixed without replacing the full unit. We focus on solving the root cause, improving operation, and bringing the window back to a proper seal. Repairs are completed with attention to detail so the window closes correctly, locks securely, and looks neat from inside and out.
Common issues we repair
- Drafts and heat loss from worn seals, gaps, or warped components
- Windows that stick or will not close due to alignment problems or swollen timber
- Broken or worn hardware including handles, hinges, friction stays, and locking points
- Rattling and noise
- Condensation between panes
- Minor frame damage
If your window is part of a larger refresh, we can coordinate related tasks like reattaching trim, sealing junctions around the opening, and adjusting neighboring doors or shutters. Clients often combine this work with indoor upgrades such as furniture assembly services to complete a room renovation efficiently.
Professional Window Installation and Replacement
Installing a new window is more than fitting a frame into an opening. Correct measurement, level positioning, and an airtight perimeter seal all influence energy efficiency and day to day usability. We handle replacement installations as well as first time window fitting where openings are already prepared by your builder.
Our installation approach
- Site check and measurement
- Removal of the old unit
- Preparation of the opening
- Setting and securing the new frame
- Sealing and weatherproofing
- Final adjustment and testing
We can also replace sealed glass units in many window types, which is ideal when the frame is still in good condition but the glazing has failed. This option can improve insulation and clarity while keeping the overall look consistent.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
We aim to make the process straightforward, tidy, and predictable. You will receive an explanation of what is wrong, what can be repaired, and when replacement is the more sensible choice. If parts are needed, we help identify compatible hardware and agree next steps before any additional work is scheduled.
Quality checks we do on site
- Operation check
- Seal inspection
- Locking and safety check
- Water resistance review
- Finish assessment
Many clients plan their home improvements in phases. If you are also updating interiors, we can align schedules with related services like professional furniture assembly so your space is functional as soon as the work is completed.
When Repair Is Enough and When Replacement Makes Sense
A well targeted repair often delivers excellent value, especially when the frame is structurally sound. Replacement is typically recommended when frames are severely warped, when there is extensive timber rot, when multiple sealed units have failed, or when you want a significant upgrade in thermal performance and security. We will outline the pros and cons clearly so you can choose with confidence.
To help you prepare, please clear access to the window area, remove fragile items from nearby surfaces, and let us know about parking or building access rules. If your visit is part of a wider move in or renovation, pairing it with furniture repair services can reduce disruption and keep your home looking its best.

FAQ
Can you fix a drafty window without replacing it?
Yes, many drafts are caused by worn seals, misalignment, or gaps around the frame. We inspect the closing pressure and perimeter sealing, then repair or replace the faulty components. If the frame is sound, this usually restores comfort quickly.
What causes condensation or fog between double glazing panes?
Fogging between panes usually means the sealed glass unit has failed and moisture has entered the cavity. In many cases the frame can stay, and only the sealed unit needs replacement. We will confirm compatibility and handle fitting and sealing.
How long does a typical window replacement take?
A straightforward replacement often takes a few hours per window, depending on access and the condition of the opening. More time may be needed if there is hidden damage, uneven reveals, or additional sealing and trim work. We will give a realistic timeframe after inspection.
