Broken mechanism? We replace and adjust it.
What's wrong with the window? (pick one)
When to replace hardware
Hardware wears out with use: the mechanism sticks, the handle works loose, the window stops locking. Often a single part can be replaced without changing the whole mechanism. We check and tell you what's actually needed.
- We replace handles, locks, hinges and the mechanism
- We replace only the faulty part where possible
- The window closes smoothly again
- We adjust the closing pressure after replacement
- We work with common hardware systems
- Warranty on the work done

What the price depends on
Technician labour is €50/hour. A uPVC window drive is €70, a door drive €80, and a scissor stay or gearbox €65; replacement labour for each of these parts is €15. Parts and replacement labour are separate. Typical replacements have separate listed rates; we agree the scope of other work in advance. The call-out fee is separate.

Four simple steps
Describe the problem
One call or message. Describe in a couple of sentences what's wrong with the window and we'll agree on a time.
We check the hardware
We see which hardware your window has and which part is faulty. We tell you honestly whether replacing a single part is enough and give you the price.
We replace the faulty part
We replace the locking mechanism, a hinge, a locking point or the handle. Where possible we replace only the faulty part. If a part is rare, we say so honestly.
We set up the window
After the replacement we adjust the closing pressure and the sash position so the window locks and closes smoothly. We give a warranty on the work done.
