Frequently Asked Questions: Window & Door Repairs in Nottingham

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 — not just a temporary adjustment.

Window repair costs vary depending on the fault. Typical guide prices:
  • Window service & adjustment: £100–£150
  • New window hinges supplied & fitted: £130–£250
  • Espag mechanism replacement: £120–£200
  • New handles supplied & fitted: £70–£100
  • Double glazing unit replacement: £120+ depending on size
  • We provide clear pricing before starting any work.

  • Jammed tilt function
  • Mechanism failure

  • Full servicing

Tilt & turn windows require specialist knowledge — incorrect handling can cause full mechanism failure.

Yes. If your glass is misted or has condensation inside, the sealed unit has failed. We can replace the double-glazed unit only, keeping your existing frame. This restores:
  • Thermal efficiency
  • Appearance
  • Insulation performance

You do not need a full window replacement.

If the same fault reoccurs within this period due to our repair, we return and rectify it at no additional cost.

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

Replacing a mechanism or hinge costs a small fraction of installing a new window. We only recommend replacement if the frame itself is structurally compromised.

  • Worn bubble gaskets
  • Misalignment
