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 and windows are caused by misalignment. Doors can drop over time. Buildings can settle. Sometimes doors seem to have been fitted by idiots. We can replace blown/misted up glass, open and adjust jammed or broken doors and windows.
If your doors are hitting the frame, have dropped, or warped that can be fixed. If doors / windows are not correctly aligned the mechanisms can break or jam. 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.
Draughty UPVC windows are commonly caused by worn or broken hinges. (Also known as friction stays). We can replace these hinges.
Even modern composite doors can cause problems. Doors can warp. Some doors have limited hinge adjustment. Composite door keeps (the bits on the frame) are often fitted slightly out of true. Any undue difficulty lifting the handle/locking can result in a broken gearbox. Many new builds had composite doors carelessly installed.
Before replacing your wonky doors or jammed windows you can get them repaired. UPVC door and window repairs do not have to be expensive.
