With household bills climbing, a misted window or a sticky door handle can feel like one more expense you could do without. The good news: in most cases you don't need a whole new window or door. Repairing what you already have is usually faster, cheaper and kinder to the environment. Here's how window and door repairs work in Warwickshire, and when replacement really is the right call.

Window and door repairs: what can be fixed?

Most problems with uPVC, aluminium and timber windows and doors come down to one failed part, not the whole frame. The frame is often still sound for many more years. Common repairs include:

• Misted or blown double glazing units
• Cracked or broken glass
• Worn locks and snapped or loose handles
• Sagging or stiff hinges
• Draughty seals and gaskets
• Velux and conservatory glass

How glass replacement works

If condensation is trapped between the panes, the sealed unit has failed. The frame is fine, so we measure the unit, make a new one and fit it into your existing frame. Your windows look clear again, and it costs a fraction of replacing the whole window. It also stops heat escaping, which helps your heating bills. The same approach works for cracked panes, Velux windows and conservatory roofs and panels.

Locks, handles and hinges

A stiff lock, a loose handle or a door that drops and catches on the frame is rarely a reason to buy a new door. We carry a wide range of locks, handles and hinges that fit many brands. Swapping the failed part restores security and smooth operation, often in a single visit. It's also a quick way to get a door that closes properly and stops draughts.

Window repair and replacement: how to decide

Repair is usually the best value, but replacement can make sense when:

• The frame is warped, rotten or badly corroded
• Most windows in the house have failed units and are very old
• The frame can no longer be made secure or weathertight
• You want a different style or higher thermal performance across the whole home

We will tell you honestly which option suits you. If a repair will do, we will say so.
