What we cover under uPVC Door & Window Repair

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 — under £80 in parts.

uPVC Repair — 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?

Parts: £80–£180 depending on the brand and complexity. Labour: £119 standard. Total: £199–£299 for most gearbox replacements. We carry common Yale, Era, and Avocet gearboxes in the van.

Can you fix a uPVC door that's dropped?

Yes — usually adjustable. uPVC doors have adjustable hinges that compensate for sagging over time. £89 for a full alignment service. If the hinges themselves are worn out, replacement is £30–£60 in parts plus labour.
