Practical repair guides.
Plain-English guides to the symptoms customers search for before they know which lock, hinge, glass unit or adjustment has actually failed.
uPVC door won’t lock? Start with the symptom, not the part.
A uPVC door that suddenly becomes difficult to lock can have several causes. The correct repair depends on whether the problem is alignment, the keeps, the handle, the gearbox or the wider multipoint mechanism.

When condensation appears between the panes and cannot be wiped away from either surface, the sealed glass unit has usually failed. If the frame is still serviceable, the glass unit can often be measured and replaced independently.
Read guide →03uPVC window won’t close? The hinge, sash and lock all need checking.
A window that catches, leaves a gap, needs lifting by hand or refuses to lock is often repairable. The important part is working out whether the fault is hinge wear, sash position, the locking mechanism or a combination of issues.
Read guide →04Repair or replace? Judge the window by the fault, not just its age.
Older uPVC windows can accumulate worn hinges, failed handles, misted glass and tired seals while the main frame remains serviceable. The sensible decision is based on the condition of the whole unit and the number and severity of its faults.
