Book a call-outWe provide expert uPVC window repairs in Sheffield, helping homeowners and landlords restore security, smooth operation, and energy efficiency. Our window repair services include replacing faulty window mechanisms, hinges, and handles, all without unnecessary replacements or disruption.
If your window is stiff, draughty, won’t open, or won’t lock properly, we can usually repair it there and then on the same day.
A very common window fault is the failure of the internal components that keep the window secure, aligned, and draught-free. These parts naturally wear down over time through regular use and are most likely to fail when the window is closed.
While this may not feel like an immediate emergency, it’s important to resolve it quickly to prevent further damage, heat loss, or security issues.
Please don’t try to force the window open yourself — this often causes additional damage to the frame or glazing. We have the specialist tools, locksmithing skills, and experience to safely open windows without causing damage.
We also carry a wide range of window mechanisms, hinges, and handles, allowing us to replace faulty parts during the same visit.
Windows rely on a set of hinges — commonly known as friction hinges or stays — to keep them correctly aligned. When these wear out, small gaps can form around the frame, allowing cold air and moisture in and costly heat out.
We offer a professional hinge replacement service to restore your windows to a fully airtight, secure, and smooth-operating condition. This not only improves comfort but also helps reduce heat loss and energy bills.

Window handles on uPVC windows may need replacing for several reasons — wear and tear, damage, seized mechanisms, or lost keys.
As full-time professional locksmiths, we carry a large selection of replacement window handles, including:
If your window keys have been lost, we can open the window safely and supply new keys at the same time.
There are also cases where a handle disconnects internally from the mechanism or becomes stiff and refuses to rotate. In these situations, we’ll access the mechanism cleanly and install a new, reliable replacement handle — no fuss, no damage.
If you’re looking to improve window security, we can install additional locks. These are especially useful when original window mechanisms are no longer available or have become obsolete.
These security upgrades keep your windows fully functional while providing an extra layer of protection for your property.
In most cases, we can give you a clear, approximate cost for your window repairs in Sheffield very quickly. The more information you can share, the more accurate we can be — and if possible, sending a photo via WhatsApp really helps us assess the issue before we arrive.
What we can say with confidence is this:
repairing a window costs a fraction of replacing one.
In many cases, a professional repair is around one-fifth of the cost of a brand-new window, making it a far more cost-effective option.
There’s also the visual side to consider. Replacing a single window often makes it stand out against the rest of the property, especially on older homes. Repairing your existing window keeps everything looking consistent, while restoring full security, functionality, and insulation.
If you’re unsure whether your window needs repairing or replacing, we’re always happy to offer honest advice — no pressure, just the best solution for your home.
