uPVC Window Repairs
At Window Repairs Sutton, we specialise in uPVC window repairs for common faults like sticking, misalignment, or faulty mechanisms. Our service helps homeowners in Sutton restore functionality without the expense of full window replacement. With over 10 years of experience and public liability insurance, our DBS-checked technicians handle uPVC window repair efficiently.
Who This Is For
This service suits homeowners with uPVC casement windows experiencing everyday issues. If your windows are hard to open, won’t lock properly, or feel draughty, we’re here to help. We focus on double glazing repairs and window mechanism repair for standard outward-opening uPVC frames, excluding sash, sliding, tilt-and-turn, or inward-opening types.
Common Causes
uPVC windows often develop problems from natural wear over time. Harsh weather, repeated use, or poor initial installation can lead to sagging, misalignment, or seized parts. These issues affect seals, hinges, and locks, causing inconvenience.
Related Symptoms
- Window won’t open – Often due to bent hinges or friction stays.
- Window won’t close – Typically from frame misalignment or worn locks.

Likely Fixes & Options
Most uPVC window repairs involve targeted fixes like window alignment and adjustment, hinge replacement, or lock servicing. We assess on-site and recommend options such as toe and heel adjustment for sagging or draught proofing for air leaks. Simple window adjustment can resolve sticking without parts.

How We Identify The Right Parts
Our technicians start with a thorough inspection of your window’s make and model. We check markings on hinges, handles, and frames to match genuine or compatible parts. This ensures window mechanism repairs fit perfectly without guesswork.
Parts & Compatibility
We source parts compatible with major uPVC brands like Rehau, Veka, or Everest. Handles, hinges, and locks must match your frame profile for seamless window alignment. Compatibility avoids further damage, and we explain options during the visit.

FAQs
How long do uPVC window repairs take?
Most jobs complete in one visit, depending on complexity. We prioritise efficiency for Sutton homeowners.
Do you repair all uPVC window types?
We handle casement windows but exclude sash, sliding, tilt-and-turn, inward-opening, or wooden frames.
Can you fix draughty uPVC windows?
Yes, through draught proofing, adjustment and alignment, or seal replacements where suitable.
Are your technicians qualified?
All are DBS/CRB checked, publicly liability insured, and locally based with 10+ years’ experience.
What if my window is very old?
Older frames may need assessment – see our honesty section below.
When Repair May Not Be Suitable
Repair isn’t always viable. If the frame is warped, corroded, or over 25 years old, replacement might be more practical long-term. We also decline work on excluded types like sash windows or wooden frames, advising alternatives honestly during inspection.
Deep structural damage or non-standard designs often make full replacement safer and more economical. Our advice prioritises your home’s security and value.
