Glazing repair services

A lock that's stiff, jammed, or won't turn is rarely a reason to replace the whole door or window. We're quick to correctly identify what's actually failed on the first visit and order the exact part needed - we can't carry every mechanism in the van, but sometimes it's just wear rather than failure, and all it needs is a clean and re-lubricate.

Worn or failed hinges are one of the most common (and most overlooked) causes of a draughty window - the sash drops slightly and stops sealing properly. We replace and realign hinges to restore a tight close, adjusting the sash via the cams and keepers as standard with every visit.

Snapped, seized, or lost-key handles are replaced from a wide range of styles and finishes - often the fastest, cheapest fix available for a door or window that otherwise works fine. We also offer hardware upgrades (handles, hinges, letterplates) for practical or aesthetical purposes if you're after a refresh.

Perished rubber seals, cracked silicone, or failed putty are a leading cause of draughts and water ingress - and one of the most common things a pressure-sale will misdiagnose as "needs a new window." We replace frame and sash seals directly, restoring the insulation without touching the frame itself.

Windows and doors settle over time - a sticking sash, a door that drops and catches on the frame, or a window that won't close flush are usually alignment issues, not structural ones. We reset and adjust the mechanism so it opens, closes and locks smoothly again.

Traditional sash and case windows are a common feature in older Tayside and Fife properties, and they're almost always repairable rather than replaceable. We fix broken sash cords, free stuck sashes, re-putty where needed, and can fit draught-proofing brush strips or secondary glazing to cut noise and draughts while preserving the original character.

Tilt and turn windows have a more complex multi-point mechanism, and when it's misaligned the window can feel stuck or insecure. We service and repair the mechanism itself so it operates correctly in both the tilt and turn positions, restoring a proper weathertight seal.

Landlords managing HMO properties need glazing that's safe, compliant and low-maintenance. We carry out compliance-focused repairs and hardware upgrades (restrictors, secure locking, fire-escape-compliant hardware) tailored to HMO requirements across the region.

uPVC and composite doors and windows rely on multi-point locking gearboxes and hinges that wear out long before the door or frame itself does. We service and replace this hardware directly, which resolves the vast majority of "my door won't lock properly" call-outs without any need to replace the unit.

For listed or historic buildings where replacing the original windows isn't desirable (or isn't permitted), secondary glazing is an effective way to cut draughts and noise. We fit aluminium powder-coated, vertical or horizontal sliding secondary glazing units to your existing frames.

For non-standard requirements - glass balustrades, bespoke shaped panes, or unusual fittings - we scope and fit tailored glazing solutions to match your property's specific needs.
