uPVC Door & Window Repair — what we cover
Multipoint gearbox replacement
The mechanism that drives all the lock points from a single handle. When it fails, the whole door becomes unusable. We replace gearboxes from Yale, Era, Avocet, Lockmaster, Maco, and most other UK brands.
Hook & deadbolt repair
The metal extensions that lock into the frame keeps. Often bend or seize. We replace damaged hooks, lubricate working ones, and ensure proper alignment with the keeps.
Door alignment & hinge adjustment
When a uPVC door drops over time, the lock no longer engages cleanly. We adjust hinges, pack out the frame, and re-align the door so it closes flush and locks smoothly.
Window mechanism repair
Espagnolette handles, friction stays, tilt-and-turn mechanisms. We replace broken components rather than the whole window where possible.
Weather seal replacement
Perished or compressed rubber seals cause draughts and water ingress. New seals improve insulation and stop wind-driven rain.
Sliding patio door repair
Rollers, locks, anti-lift devices on uPVC patio doors. Stiff or grinding doors usually need new rollers, which are an inexpensive part.

uPVC Repair Peterborough — frequently asked questions
My uPVC door won't lock — what's wrong?
Most likely one of three things: the gearbox has failed (key turns but hooks don't engage), the door has dropped (mechanism out of alignment with the keeps), or one of the hooks/deadbolts is bent. A quick diagnostic on-site usually identifies it within 5 minutes.
How much does a uPVC gearbox cost?
It depends on the brand and complexity of the gearbox and the parts it needs, so we quote on inspection. We carry common Yale, Era, and Avocet gearboxes in the van, and we confirm a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you fix a uPVC door that's dropped?
Yes — usually adjustable. uPVC doors have adjustable hinges that compensate for sagging over time. We offer a full alignment service, and if the hinges themselves are worn out we quote for replacement parts plus labour.
Is it cheaper to replace the whole door?
Almost never. A new uPVC door costs many times what a mechanism repair does. We only recommend replacement if the uPVC frame itself is damaged beyond repair.
Do you guarantee uPVC repairs?
Yes. Parts fitted carry the manufacturer's warranty (typically 12 months for major UK brands like Yale and Era), and we stand behind our workmanship — if a repair we made fails under normal use, we come back and put it right.
