Common uPVC Door and Window Faults We Fix

Over time, uPVC doors and windows can develop faults that stop them locking or closing correctly. These problems usually come from wear in the gearbox, door misalignment, or failed hinges and handles.

Typical issues we fix include:

  • Stiff or dropping handles
  • Door won’t close or latch
  • Key turns but door won’t open
  • Jammed multipoint locks
  • Failed gearboxes
  • Window hinges not pulling tight
  • Draughts or gaps between frame and sash

Our engineers diagnose faults on-site and use non-destructive repair methods whenever possible. In most cases, we can repair the issue on the first visit saving you the cost of a full door replacement.
