Window Repair Addiscombe
A window that will not close, a pane that has cracked overnight, a unit that has gone cloudy in the middle of winter. I have been fixing these problems for Addiscombe homes and businesses for over three decades, and I still get out to most jobs the same day. Give us a ring and we will get your window working properly again.
Window Problems We Fix in Addiscombe
- Cracked and Smashed Glass - Single panes and sealed units replaced, with the area made safe before we start any cutting or fitting.
- Misted and Blown Double Glazing - We swap the failed unit and leave the frame in place, so you get clear glass again without the cost of new windows.
- Stiff Handles and Failed Hinges - Worn mechanisms, dropped sashes and windows that will not latch are usually sorted in a single visit.
- Draughty and Leaking Frames - Perished seals and gaps around the frame let heat out and water in. We reseal and reset them properly.

Repair First, Replace Only When We Have To
Plenty of firms will look at a faulty window and quote you for a whole new one. That is not how we work. My team and I will always try to bring your existing window back into good order first, because it is quicker, cheaper and usually all that is needed. If a full replacement genuinely is the better option, we will tell you honestly and explain why.

FAQs
Can a misted double glazed unit be fixed without a new window?
Yes. The seal inside the unit has failed, not the frame. We measure the pane, order a matching unit and fit it into your existing frame, which keeps the cost well below a full window replacement.
What can you do if my window cannot be repaired the same day?
If a replacement unit needs to be made to order, we will board or temporarily seal the opening so your property is secure and weatherproof, then return to fit the glass once it arrives.
Are old uPVC windows worth repairing?
Often, yes. uPVC frames tend to outlast the moving parts inside them, so a twenty year old window with a broken handle or failed unit is usually a straightforward fix rather than a write off.
Can you find parts for older or discontinued windows?
In most cases we can. Three decades of trade relationships means we can source hinges, handles and locking mechanisms that are no longer sold on the high street, or match a modern equivalent that fits the same fixings.
Does window repair need registering with FENSA?
Replacing glass within an existing frame does not need registration. Replacing the whole window does, and as a FENSA registered company we handle that paperwork for you.
