uPVC window repair in Monk Bretton

Today, we repaired a bathroom uPVC window at a property in Monk Bretton, Barnsley.

The customer noticed a gap between the window and its frame on the side opposite the handle. Worn or faulty hinges can cause this problem, preventing the window from closing and sealing properly.

Replacing faulty uPVC window hinges

After checking the window, we confirmed that the hinges needed replacing. We carefully removed the opening section, removed the faulty hinges, and fitted a new pair.

We also serviced the window’s locking mechanism and checked that everything worked correctly.

Once refitted, the bathroom window opened and closed smoothly. The new hinges also eliminated the gap between the window and its frame.

Signs your window hinges need replacing

Faulty hinges are a common problem on older uPVC windows. Warning signs include:

• A visible gap between the window and its frame.
• Draughts when the window is closed.
• Difficulty closing the window properly.
• A window that catches or sits unevenly in its frame.
• The need to use excessive force to pull the window shut.

In most cases, replacing the hinges costs much less than replacing the whole window. Read more about our window lock and hinge repairs across Barnsley. For general maintenance advice, see this guide to looking after window hinges.
