Tilt & Turn Repairs

uPVC Espagnolette Locks are prone to failure, especially if the windows are poorly maintained. uPVC windows need very little in the way of maintenance, however they do need to be oiled occasionally.

The opening sashes are prone to dropping and often need to be re-aligned, If the window is difficult to lock and the handle has to be forced it can lead to the gearbox inside the lock shattering usually making it impossible to open the window, we can replace gearboxes and locks.

One of the most common issues with uPVC windows as they start to age is the rubber seals perishing, they tend to go hard and at worst break away from the frame allowing drafts and water to penetrate into the house.

There are a huge amount of different seals available for uPVC windows, it would be difficult to keep a stock of all of them but we do keep the most popular seals on the van and can order the not so popular ones when needed.

Tilt and Turn uPVC window repairs are far less common than on conventional outward opening casement windows. They are an extremely robust window, however they do need attention now and again. The biggest issue is that they are usually quite large windows often need to be re-aligned and given a general service.

There is also the chance that you will have to replace parts of the mechanism, these are usually available from stock or we can get them from our suppliers very quickly
