uPVC window lock, handle and hinge repairs
Repair or replacement of common uPVC window locking mechanisms, handles and hinges where windows will not open, close or secure correctly.
Restore safe operation and security
A uPVC window may become difficult to operate because of a failed handle, worn locking mechanism, damaged hinges or misalignment between the sash and frame.
The window should be assessed before individual components are replaced so the underlying cause is addressed rather than only the visible symptom.
Common reasons to call
- Window handle spins
- Handle is broken
- Window will not open
- Window will not close fully
- Hinges feel loose
- Locking points do not engage

Frequently asked questions
Can a locked-shut window be repaired?
In many cases it can be assessed and opened for repair, depending on the failure and access.
Why does my window have a gap when closed?
Worn hinges, adjustment or alignment issues can prevent an even seal.
Can you replace just the handle?
Yes where the handle is the only failed component and the underlying mechanism remains serviceable.
