Frequently Asked Questions: Window & Door Repairs in Milton Keynes

In most cases, uPVC windows can be repaired without full replacement. Common issues such as broken hinges, faulty handles, failed espag mechanisms, blown double glazing units, and worn seals can all be repaired at a fraction of the cost of new windows.

We always prioritise repair over replacement, saving you money while restoring security and performance.

Yes. A window that won’t close is usually caused by:
  • Failed espag (locking mechanism)
  • Dropped sash
  • Worn hinges
  • Misaligned keeps
  • Swollen or damaged seals

We diagnose the mechanical cause first and carry out the correct repair β€” not just a temporary adjustment.

  • Window service & adjustment: Β£100–£150

In most cases, repairs are significantly cheaper than full replacement.
