Most doors and windows fitted today are double glazed UPVC (PVCu) or composite. They should give years of faultless service but when they do go wrong, we can fix them. It is far cheaper to repair and adjust existing doors and windows than fit a brand new set.
We can replace blown/misted up glass, open and adjust jammed doors, windows etc. One of the most common problems with UPVC doors is misalignment. This can cause difficulty locking or unlocking the door. Unless adjusted it will eventually cause your door mechanism to break or jam. If your door or window has jammed shut we can open it and replace the broken mechanism.
If your doors are hitting the frame, dropped, or warped we can probably fix it. Even if you have old style butt hinges without adjustment there are other ways to align your door. Perhaps your windows become murky, misted up or even have condensation between the glass. Not only is this unsightly but it is a sign that your double glazing will not be working effectively.
Even modern composite doors can cause problems. Whilst they are very strong they are rarely equipped with adjustable hinges, and the keeps (on the frame) are often fitted out of alignment. Any undue difficulty lifting the handle/locking can result in a broken gearbox. Sometimes entire estates (especially Coleford and Lydney) had the composite doors badly installed by the builders.
Before you give up on your wonky doors or jammed windows, give us a call.
