How we fix hinge problems
1. Inspect
We check hinge wear, sash alignment and the condition of seals and gaskets.
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. 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.
What causes the problem — common faults we see in Mears Ashby
Corrosion
Cheaper stays rust, especially on exposed elevations, making them stiff, noisy and eventually seized.
Wind catching open windows
A gust catching an open sash can bend friction arms in seconds, leaving the window loose or unable to close properly.
Perished gaskets
Rubber seals harden and shrink with age and sunlight, so even a well-aligned window can start letting in cold air.

Window & door hinge repair in Mears Ashby: FAQs

Yes, we measure and fit matching stays and hinges for your window or door type.
Can you fix a dropped uPVC door in Mears Ashby?
Yes — most dropped doors are fixed by adjusting or replacing the hinges, usually in one visit.
