About Double Glazing Repair Liverpool

What do we repair?

Most of our work falls into two groups. The first is glass: misted or blown sealed units where the edge seal has failed and condensation sits between the panes, cracked or broken glass, conservatory side and door units, obscure glass for bathrooms and front doors, and upgrades from old units to low-E, argon-filled glass. The second is hardware and fit: multipoint locks and gearboxes, euro cylinders, friction stay hinges, window handles and espagnolette locks, tilt-and-turn gear, patio door rollers, bi-fold runners, seals and gaskets, trickle vents, restrictors, door panels, letterboxes and cat flaps.

A good example is a uPVC door that will not lock. It is tempting to treat that as a lock problem, but very often the door has dropped on its hinges and the hooks no longer meet the keeps. Fixing the alignment as well as the part is what stops it happening again.

What don’t we do?

We repair windows and doors; we do not sell or fit new ones. We do not replace whole frames, build conservatory roofs, or work on timber sash windows, glass balustrades, shopfronts, garage doors or car glass. If a frame is beyond sensible repair, we will say so plainly so you can talk to an installer.

Where do we work?

We cover Liverpool and the surrounding boroughs of Sefton, Knowsley, St Helens and the Wirral, plus Widnes. That takes in terraced streets with uPVC fitted into Victorian openings, inter-war and post-war semis on their second or third set of hinges, newer estates with composite doors, and coastal homes where wind-driven rain is hard on seals. Our areas we cover page lists the districts, and the homepage explains our window and door repairs in Liverpool in more detail.

How do we approach a repair?

We start by asking what is wrong, which window or door it is, what the frame is made of and roughly how old it is. A photo helps, especially of any marks on the spacer bar between the panes or on the face of the lock cylinder. We then visit to look and measure, explain whether a repair, a part swap or a new glass unit is the sensible fix, and give a written quote.

Glass units are made to measure, so they are fitted at a second visit. Small hardware jobs can often be done on the first visit if we carry the part. Before we leave, we check the window or door opens, closes and locks properly.

What can you expect from us?

• A plain explanation of what has failed and why, without sales talk.
• Honesty when there is no fault: condensation on the room side of the glass, or on the outside face on a cold morning, is not a failed unit.
• A written quote based on what we have seen, before any work starts.
• Safety glass where the rules require it, such as low panes and glazed doors.
• A heads-up if your windows or doors are still covered by an installer’s or manufacturer’s guarantee, so you can check the paperwork before we touch anything.
