Frequently Asked Questions: Window & Door Repairs in Westminster & Across London

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.

  • Failed espag (locking mechanism)

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