Before You Replace, Consider Repair
From misted glass to broken handles and failed locks, we repair windows and doors across all brands across Essex and East London. No same-day or emergency callouts. We survey first, then book the repair.
What we repair
Repair Types
Misted Glass
Condensation or cloudiness between panes is caused by failure of the hermetic seal. We replace only the glass unit, leaving the existing UPVC or aluminium frame untouched.
- Sealed unit replacement in all frame types
- Argon-filled, warm-edge units fitted as standard
- Clear, obscure, solar-control, and acoustic glass available

Broken Glass & Failed Units
Cracked panes and failed double glazed units can usually be fixed with a glass-only replacement. We match the unit specification and keep the existing frame wherever possible.
- Broken glass replacement in windows and doors
- Double glazed unit replacement across all frame types
- Toughened, laminated, and obscure glass available
- Matched spacer bars and glazing thickness where required

- Handle and espagnolette bolt replacement

What We Can Fix
Misted Units
Failed hermetic seals cause cloudy or misted double glazed units. We replace the sealed unit only, no need to replace the whole frame, restoring clear sight lines fast.
Broken Glass
Cracked, chipped, or broken glass panes in UPVC, aluminium, and timber frames. We cut and fit replacement panes same-week, working across all window and door types.
Energy Upgrades
Upgrade older single or basic double glazed units to modern argon-filled, warm-edge sealed units. Dramatically improve your U-values and reduce heating bills in a single visit.
Specialist Glass
Supply and fit obscure, solar control, acoustic, and laminated safety glass. We source specialist glass for bathrooms, rooflights, and high-specification builds.
Draught Seals
Draughty windows are almost always caused by perished or compressed frame seals and weather strips. We replace the seals directly, no new frames required.
Trickle Vents
Repair, replace, or newly install trickle vents to meet current Building Regulations for background ventilation. Particularly important for replacement window compliance.
Stiff & Dropped
Stiff, dropped, or misaligned windows and doors are typically a hinge or adjusting screw issue. We diagnose and correct the alignment without unnecessary part replacement.
Hinges & Stays
Broken or worn hinges and friction stays on casement windows and doors. We carry a wide range of UPVC and aluminium hinge replacements for all standard and non-standard window profiles.
Locking Faults
Failed multi-point locking mechanisms are a common call-out. We repair or replace shoot bolt systems, hook locks, and rollers on windows and doors from all major manufacturers.
Cylinder Upgrades
We upgrade to anti-snap, anti-drill TS007 3-star cylinders, the recommended standard to meet insurance requirements and resist forced entry on UPVC and composite doors.
Handles & Bolts
Broken handles, espagnolette bolts, and locking keeps are straightforward replacements. We stock handles and bolt sets for the most common UPVC door and window profiles.
Patio Door Rollers
Stiff or jumping patio doors are usually worn rollers or a dirty track. We clean, adjust, and replace bottom rollers and top guides to restore smooth, effortless operation.
Conservatory Doors
Conservatory doors see heavy daily use and deteriorate faster than other openings. We refurbish, re-seal, and re-adjust conservatory door frames and panels to like-new performance.
Cat Flap Fitting
We cut and fit cat flaps directly into glazed door panels, including double-glazed units. No frame drilling required, a clean, professional finish without weakening your door.
