Most double glazed doors and windows fitted today are UPVC (PVCu) or composite construction. If they go wrong we can fix them. A repair or adjustment may save you having to buy a new set of doors.
What goes wrong with UPVC doors and windows?
Many common problems with UPVC doors / windows are due to misalignment. Doors can drop over time. Buildings can settle. In many cases new builds had doors and windows poorly installed. We can replace blown/misted up glass, open and adjust jammed or broken doors and windows.
Dropped and warped doors can be re-aligned. Doors / windows that are misaligned can lead to the mechanisms breaking or jamming. Even doors with butt hinges without adjustment can be adjusted in other ways. Perhaps your windows have become murky, misted up or even have water sloshing about inside. Misted glass can be unsightly. Really bad examples can have several of inches of water in the glass. Your double glazing will not be working effectively like that.
A draughty UPVC window is commonly due to worn or broken hinges. (Also known as friction stays). Sometimes the installers didn’t put them in straight to begin with. We can replace these hinges.
Even modern composite doors can cause problems. Doors can warp. Some doors have limited hinge adjustment. Door keeps (the bits on the frame) are often fitted in slightly the wrong place. Any undue difficulty lifting the handle/locking can result in a broken gearbox. Many new builds had composite doors carelessly installed.
Before you replace your wonky doors or jammed windows look into getting them repaired. UPVC door and window repairs do not have to be expensive.
