Book a call-outWe offer uPVC window repairs in Doncaster that include the replacement of faulty window mechanisms, hinges, and window handles.
A common fault on windows is that the parts that hold the window secure and draught-free can fail due to regular use over time. Failure tends to occur especially when your window is in a closed position, and although not an immediate issue, it does need to be resolved.

Please don’t try to open the window yourself, as you will likely cause more problems or damage. We have the tools, locksmithing skills, and the knowledge to open windows without causing damage to your window. We also carry vast amounts of spare parts and stock to replace the faulty window mechanism there and then.
The windows pivot on a set of hinges, often called friction hinges or stays. These can wear over time and leave a gap around the edge, letting cold air in. We offer a service where these can be replaced and thus make them airtight and secure.
The handles on UPVC windows can be replaced for various reasons. As full-time professional locksmiths, we carry a selection of window handles, both for standard windows and tilt-and-turn windows. If your window keys have been lost, we will open the window and replace your missing keys.
There are times when a window handle will break and disconnect from the window and mechanism; these can be exchanged for a replacement
Finally, the window handles can seize and therefore not rotate. In this situation, we will be able to access the handles and replace them with new alternative window handles. We know how to open all windows without any fuss.
If you require additional security for your windows, there are options. These unique fittings are helpful when window mechanisms have become obsolete and an alternative isn’t available. In these cases, the windows remain operable, allowing you to open and close them while still being secure.
