What's wrong with your window?
Most window faults are repairable — and most are fixed in a single visit. Choose the problem that best matches yours for a detailed explanation and pricing.
Window dropping, catching on the frame, or not closing properly. Usually caused by worn friction stay hinges.
Window handle repairBroken, stiff, spinning, or loose handle. Usually a straightforward replacement.
Window lock & mechanism repairWindow won't lock properly or won't secure. Often caused by a failed espagnolette or locking mechanism.
Glass replacementMisted, cracked, or broken double-glazed units. Frame stays — only the glass unit is replaced.
Common window problems and likely causes
Not sure what's wrong? Here are the window faults we see most often, what they usually point to, and the best next step. These are general guides — the surest way to know is to take a look, so send us a few photos and we'll tell you what's likely involved before any work is agreed.
| Problem you notice | What it usually means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Window won't close properly | Often the friction-stay hinges have worn or the opener has dropped slightly out of line. | Usually a hinge repair or replacement. |
| Handle turns but the window won't open | The handle may be spinning without engaging, or the mechanism behind it has worn. | Often a handle repair, or a lock or mechanism repair where the espagnolette is at fault. |
| Window won't lock | Usually a worn or failed locking mechanism (espagnolette), or a handle that no longer drives the lock. | Best looked at promptly, as your security may be affected — see window lock repair. |
| Gap or draught around the opener | Often a dropped sash or worn hinges. | Commonly resolved by adjusting the hinges. |
| Window feels dropped or stiff to operate | Usually worn friction-stay hinges that have started to sag under the weight of the opener. | Normally a hinge replacement. |
| Condensation between the panes | The sealed unit's seal has failed and moisture is trapped inside — it won't clear, and the proper fix is usually replacing the sealed glass unit, not resealing it. | The glass unit can normally be replaced while the frame stays — see misted double glazing. |
Still not sure? Send us a few photos and we'll tell you what's likely involved and give you a clear price before any work starts.

Window repair pricing
Our minimum charge for any window repair is £145 + VAT (£174 inc VAT). Many common repairs — hinges, handles, locks — have a fixed price that we confirm before starting work. No surprises.
If we carry out more than one repair on the same visit, additional items are usually cheaper than the first. For example, if you need hinges on several windows, the first is £145 + VAT and each additional window is £110 + VAT.

Do I need to replace my window or can it be repaired?
In most cases, a faulty window can be repaired rather than replaced — and at a fraction of the cost. A worn hinge, a broken handle, or a window that won't lock are almost always repair jobs. Even misted or blown glass doesn't require replacing the whole frame — just the sealed unit.
The only time full window replacement makes more sense is when the uPVC frame itself is warped, cracked, or very old and multiple parts are failing at once. We'll give you an honest assessment and tell you which option makes financial sense for your situation.
We also carry out aluminium window repairs and glass replacement in timber frames.
If you're weighing repair against replacement on cost alone, we've set out the figures in how much it costs to replace a uPVC window, and how long double-glazed windows last covers when a frame is genuinely at the end of its life.
Pricing
All prices plus VAT unless stated. Exact price confirmed after assessment — no surprises.
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Lock / mechanism repair | £165 + VAT |
| Handle replacement | £145 + VAT |
| Hinge replacement | £145 + VAT |
Prices are a guide. Final price confirmed after we've assessed the job. We'll always agree the price before starting work.
Frequently Asked Questions
- In most cases, yes. A broken handle, stiff hinge, or faulty lock are all repair jobs — no need to replace the frame. Even misted glass only requires the glass unit replacing, not the whole window. We'll always tell you honestly which option makes sense.
- Most window repairs start from £145 + VAT (£174 inc VAT), which is also our minimum charge. That covers a handle, a hinge or a lock repair on its own; extra items on the same visit cost less. We agree the price before starting any work.
- A window that won't lock is a security issue and should be repaired promptly. In most cases it's a faulty handle mechanism or lock — a straightforward repair. Call us — we treat it as a priority.
- This is almost always a hinge fault — either the friction has gone or the hinge itself is broken. It's a standard repair at £145 + VAT per window, with additional windows on the same visit at a reduced rate.
- Most window repairs take 30–60 minutes. We carry the most common hinges, handles, and mechanisms with us, so we can complete most jobs in a single visit.
