Comprehensive uPVC Window Repair and Replacement Solutions for Homes Across the Fylde Coast
uPVC Window Repairs You Can Trust
A failed hinge is one of the most common causes of draughts. You’ll often notice a gap in the corner of the window when it’s closed.
🔧 I repair, replace, or upgrade a wide range of friction stays (window hinges) for both older and modern homes.
💷 Standard hinge replacement starts at £52, with prices increasing for additional features such as:
• Fire-escape hinges
• Easy-clean hinges
• Side-hung hinges and full hinge sets
🚐 Quick repairs, stocked van:
Most common hinge sizes are carried on the van for fast, efficient service.
📦 Special orders:
For less common types, the average replacement cost ranges from £52 to £75 depending on the specification.
If your window won’t lock or the handle spins freely, the internal mechanism is usually worn or broken.
🛠️ I can replace:
The espagnolette locking mechanism (the metal bar beneath the window sash).
🚐 Fast, reliable repairs:
My van carries a range of standard window locking mechanisms for quick, on-the-spot repairs. If your window uses shootbolts or gearboxes—components that form part of the locking system—I can order replacements through my supplier network, usually within a couple of days.
✅ Quality parts, smooth operation:
I use trusted components to ensure smooth handle movement and long-term reliability.
A faulty window handle is a common issue on older uPVC windows.
🛠️ I repair and replace:
• Standard uPVC window handles
• Locking handles (key‑locking)
• Inline and cranked handles
• Handles that won’t engage the locking mechanism
🚐 Fast repairs with stocked parts:
Most common handle types and colours are carried on the van, allowing for quick, same‑day replacements in many cases.
✅ Smooth, secure, long‑lasting:
I only use quality handles and components to ensure reliable locking and smooth operation for years to come.
Old or perished window seals are a common cause of draughts, water ingress, and those black marks that appear on the uPVC frame.
🛠️ I replace all common seal types, including:
• Bubble gaskets
• Flipper gaskets
• Wedge / E‑gaskets
• Compression seals
🔍 Correct seal, proper fit:
There are many variations of window seals, and each system requires the right profile to work properly. I’ll identify the correct type for your window and fit new seals to restore a proper, weather‑tight finish.
If your sash is dropping, won’t stay open, feels heavy to lift, or won’t tilt in for cleaning, the internal balance system is usually the cause. These windows rely on spring‑loaded components that wear out over time.
🛠️ I repair and replace:
• Spiral balances (spring mechanisms that support the sash)
• Pivot shoes
• Tilt latches
• Broken or seized balance brackets
• Worn or damaged weather seals
🔍 Accurate diagnosis:
Sash window issues often look similar — a dropped sash, a stiff lift, or a sash that won’t tilt — but the fault can be in the balance tension, the pivot shoe, or the tilt mechanism. I’ll identify the exact cause and repair it properly.
🚐 Fast repairs where possible:
Common spiral balance and sash windows are less common but parts can be ordered quickly through my supplier network.
🧼 Gaps, draughts or untidy window edges?
Over time, external silicone and internal trims can shrink, crack, or pull away from the frame. This leads to draughts, leaks, and an untidy finish around the window.
🛠️ I carry out professional re‑sealing and re‑trimming, including:
• Removing old, failed silicone
• Applying fresh, clean exterior‑grade sealant
• Re‑sealing internal joints for a neat finish
• Replacing damaged or missing trims
• Fixing gaps caused by settlement or poor original installation
✨ A cleaner, tighter finish:
Fresh seals and trims not only improve weather protection but also make the window look newer and better fitted.
🚐 Most trims and sealants stocked on the van:
I carry a range of common trim sizes and high‑quality sealants for quick, tidy repairs.
