I attended a tenanted property in Waterthorpe, Sheffield, to complete a bedroom window hinge replacement. The customer was having problems with two bedroom windows.
Both windows had failed hinges, so the sashes were no longer pulling tightly against the frames. This allowed cold air and draughts to enter the rooms. As a result, the windows were not sealing correctly.
Two failed bedroom window hinges replaced
After inspecting both windows, I confirmed that the hinges had worn out and needed replacing. I fitted two new sets of window hinges. I then checked that both windows closed correctly and pulled tightly into the frames.
Once I fitted the new hinges, both bedroom windows opened and closed properly again. They also provided a much better seal, with no more draughts around the edges.
A draughty window that no longer closes tightly is often suffering from worn hinges. In many cases, replacing the hinges restores the seal and avoids the cost of a full window replacement.
Front door realigned and new seal fitted
While I was at the property, I also adjusted the front door because it had dropped slightly out of alignment. I realigned the door and fitted a new door seal. This helped the door close correctly and improved the seal around the frame.
Completing these extra adjustments during the same visit helped improve both the security and comfort of the property.
Repairing windows instead of replacing them
Many uPVC window problems can be repaired without replacing the whole window. Failed hinges, worn handles and faulty locking mechanisms are common issues, especially on older windows.
I provide professional window and lock repairs in Sheffield. This includes repairs for stiff handles, jammed windows, and draughty frames. I also cover nearby areas, including Beighton and Mosborough.
If you have a window that will not shut properly, failed hinges or a door that needs adjusting, please get in touch.
