uPVC door and window repairs in Warwick
From the newer estates to the old town, doors and windows that have stopped locking or closing, put right on a planned visit with the price agreed in writing first.
What this covers
Warwick is two places for this kind of work. Newer estates where every door and window went in within a few years, and older streets where a uPVC frame was fitted into an opening that was never square.
If a door or window is still under its installer’s guarantee, tell us first, so nothing we do affects it.
Common jobs
- Doors that have dropped, catch on the frame or need lifting to lock
- uPVC door lock problems: the handle will not lift, the key will not turn
- Worn gearboxes and multi-point lock strips, matched and replaced
- Broken or loose hinges and handles, on doors and windows
- Windows that will not close or lock, worn stays and friction hinges
- Misted glass units replaced in the existing frame
Estates built all at once
Woodloes Park, Chase Meadow and Warwick Gates each went up over a few years. Doors and windows of the same age, from the same suppliers, tend to wear out together: the same gearbox, the same hinges, the same seals. If a neighbour’s door has just been sorted, it is worth asking about yours.
Many of those installers have moved on, so the guarantee has gone and nobody comes back to service the hardware. We do.
Old openings, newer frames
In the older streets, replacement frames were often packed out to fit an opening that has moved since. When a door in one of those frames starts to catch, the cause can be the frame moving rather than the door. We check both before we say what it needs.
Narrow streets and consent
Parking in the old town is tight, so we ask where the van can stop before the visit. The centre is a conservation area: like for like repair is rarely a problem, and anything that changes the outside can need consent from Warwick District Council, which we will say at the visit.
We visit before we quote
A photo shows the style of door. It does not show whether the gearbox, the hinges or the frame is the problem, and that decides the price. We look first, explain what we found, and the quote follows in writing. The visit and the written quote are free, and there is no obligation.
Also worth knowing
Our workmanship is guaranteed for twenty-four months. That covers the fitting and the hanging. Exterior paintwork, stains and sealant are guaranteed for twelve months. The product itself, whoever supplies it, is covered by the manufacturer’s own guarantee. If a product does fail, we handle the manufacturer claim for you at no charge.
We work Monday to Thursday. Friday is our office day, kept for quotes, ordering parts and answering people.
We travel to Warwick and Leamington Spa on set days, and work across Warwickshire and into Coventry. If you are not sure whether we come to you, just ask. See Property maintenance in Warwick.
