Window repairs across London and the South East
Repair before replacement. Broken, cracked or smashed glass, failed double glazing and windows that no longer lock, open or close are assessed for repair within the existing frame first.
Broken Window Repair covers glass and sealed units, uPVC repairs, locks, gearboxes, handles, hinges, friction stays, seals, alignment and window boarding across London and the South East. Send photos of the damage for an initial estimate, or call to talk the window through.
When emailing photos, include the postcode, the damage and how the window is reached.
What the service covers
-
Repair before replacement
A sound frame may only need new glass, a sealed unit, a lock, a hinge or an alignment adjustment rather than a complete window.
-
Glass, frame and hardware together
Glass make-up, sight sizes, frame and bead condition, gaskets, closures, hardware and access are considered as one job.
-
Photos for an initial estimate
Photographs of the damage are enough to start an estimate discussion; the specification is confirmed once the opening has been assessed.
-
Landlords and businesses
Urgent make-safe and planned window work for rented property and business premises, with access coordinated.

Hardware repairsHinges & alignment
Hinges, friction stays, seals and misaligned sashes behind windows that stick, drop or let draughts in.

Where the frame is sound, the work may be new glass, a replacement sealed unit, a lock, a hinge, a handle or an alignment adjustment. Where a frame is distorted or unsuitable, the discussion moves to emergency window replacement instead.

A jammed, stuck or misaligned sash that should not be forced.
-
Misted double glazing
Clouding between the panes, and how it differs from surface condensation.
-
Draughty window repair
Seals, weatherstripping and alignment behind a draught you can feel with the window shut.
Damage after forced entry is covered by burglary window repair. The window problems and window parts hubs cover the rest.
