How we fix hinge problems

  1. 1. Inspect

    We check hinge wear, sash alignment and the condition of seals and gaskets.

  2. 2. Replace or adjust

    Friction stays are swapped like-for-like; door hinges are adjusted or replaced to lift the door back into line.

  3. 3. Seal

    Worn gaskets are renewed so the window or door closes tight and stops draughts.

New hinges and seals cost a fraction of new windows and can make a noticeable difference to draughts and heating bills.

The real causes behind window & door hinge repair jobs in Delapre

Loose fixing screws

Screws pulling out of the frame let hinges move, which throws the whole sash out of alignment.

Weight of the glass

Double glazed sashes are heavy. Over years that weight wears the friction stays, so the window drops and rubs on the frame.

Perished gaskets

Rubber seals harden and shrink with age and sunlight, so even a well-aligned window can start letting in cold air.
