uPVC Window Repairs
We specialise in repairing uPVC window mechanisms including hinges, locks, and sealing systems. Our technicians can restore functionality to windows with broken gearboxes or misaligned sashes. We maintain stock of both modern and obsolete components to ensure compatibility with installations dating back 30+ years.
uPVC Door Repairs
Our door repair service addresses hardware failures including multi-point locks, hinges, and security mechanisms. We can resolve issues with jammed locking systems and replace worn seals to improve energy efficiency. We work with both standard and composite door systems.
Misted Double Glazing
We replace failed double-glazing units without requiring full window replacement. Our technicians remove damaged sealed units and install new energy-efficient replacements. This cost-effective solution typically costs significantly less than complete window renewal while maintaining structural integrity.
Security Upgrades
We install high-security lock cylinders and upgrade existing systems to meet insurance requirements. Our security solutions include anti-snap lock mechanisms and reinforced hinge systems. All upgrades use certified components that maintain compliance with current security standards.
Emergency Repairs
We offer rapid response for critical issues including broken locks and damaged seals. Our emergency service prioritises security restoration with temporary solutions where needed. Most urgent cases receive same-day attention during working hours.

Very rarely do you find an honest tradesman who will agree a date and turn up on time. Dennis came in and looked at the 2 jobs I needed repairing and just cracked on. He was here less than an hour and the costs were much less than I was expecting. A problem door now feels like it was recently installed. Thank you Dennis I will certainly be keeping your card handy.
