Draughty or Leaking Windows

If your double glazed windows have become draughty, it will usually be caused by one or all of the following issues:

  • Failed hinge (Friction stay)
  • Perished Seals or Gaskets
  • Broken Mechanism (Espag)

Our repair team can easily fix any of these drafty and leaking problems, with the proper replacement parts likely already available in our van.

Hinge not pulling in against seals

Failed Hinge (Friction Stay)

It’s no surprise when window hinges on older units malfunction, separating sashes from frames. This gateway permits drafting/leaking.

An inability to close windows entirely could mean security issues. But take heart, common hinge sizes are always stockpiled in our van for immediate fixes. 

Broken Mechanism (Espag)

UPVC double-glazed window lock failures result from manhandling of handles over time. These edge-mounted espags then jam windows hopelessly closed (unsafe) or unable to latch.

Sussex Double Glazing Repairs can spring any stuck espag. Then restore full function by installing universal replacements we haul in the van.

Broken Window Handles

Broken Window Handle

It’s only natural for UPVC double-glazed window handles to eventually fail via severed buttons or fractured levers.

Yet our technicians swap new handles rapidly onsite using ample replacement stock we carry in each van. To discuss pricing and repairs, phone Dale at 07881 407 764

Seals & Gaskets

UPVC window seals will gradually fossilise and crumble. Drafts and leaks result. A critical window balance is then disrupted, damaging hardware.

Sussex Double Glazing Repairs expertly switches out degraded seals quickly to restore integrity.

FAQs

UPVC windows can develop issues such as misted or foggy glass, warped frames, sticking mechanisms, loose hinges, or damage to rubber seals. Identifying these problems early can help prevent further damage and costly repairs.

Assessing the condition of your UPVC window is crucial in deciding whether repair or replacement is the best course of action. Look for signs like water ingress, visible cracks, difficulty in operation, or excessive drafts to determine the extent of the damage.

The time taken to repair a UPVC window can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the issue, availability of replacement parts, and the expertise of the repair technician. Simple repairs may be completed within hours, while more extensive repairs could take longer.

Choosing to repair your UPVC windows instead of replacing them contributes positively to the environment by reducing waste and conserving resources. Repairing existing windows minimises the need for new materials and energy-intensive manufacturing processes associated with window replacement.
