Who We Are

Common uPVC Door Problems Fixed

Is your uPVC door stiff to lock, or does the handle feel loose? These are common indicators of underlying problems we regularly resolve:

  • Failed Multipoint Locking Mechanisms: The internal gearbox or entire strip can fail, preventing the door from locking securely. We replace these components precisely.
  • Dropped or Misaligned Doors: Over time, doors can drop on their hinges, making them difficult to close or lock. We adjust and realign door frames and hinges.
  • Stiff or Floppy Handles: A wobbly or unresponsive handle often points to internal mechanism wear and tear. We replace faulty handles or gearboxes.
  • Key Snapped Inside Lock: This requires careful extraction without damaging the cylinder. We possess specialist tools for this.
  • Faulty Cylinders: If your key turns but doesn't operate the lock, or is difficult to insert, a cylinder replacement may be necessary. We fit high-security, anti-snap cylinders.
    We aim to fix rather than replace, offering a cost-effective solution.

Addressing uPVC Window Faults

Just like doors, uPVC windows can develop issues impacting security and thermal efficiency. We commonly fix:

  • Broken or Faulty Hinges: Windows that don't close flush, feel draughty, or are difficult to open often have worn or broken hinges. We replace these, restoring smooth operation.
  • Damaged Handles: A snapped or loose window handle needs prompt replacement to maintain security and usability.
