Window Repair Battersea
A failing window is not something you want to live with for long, particularly on an exposed Battersea street in the middle of winter. I have run Direct Glass for over 30 years, and repairs are still the job my team gets called out for most across South London. Cracked panes, misted units, dropped hinges and handles that no longer lock are all fixable, usually without replacing your frames. Give us a ring and we will get it sorted properly.
Faults We Put Right
- Misted and Blown Double Glazing - Condensation trapped between the panes means the seal has failed. We replace the glass unit and leave your existing frame exactly where it is.
- Hinges, Handles and Locks - Windows that drop, stick or refuse to lock are nearly always a hardware problem. We carry replacement parts for most common systems.
- Cracked and Smashed Panes - Whether it happened through weather, accident or a break in, we can board up the same day and reglaze once the new pane is ready.
- Draughts and Perished Seals - Old rubber gaskets and beading harden over time. Fresh seals bring back the warmth you paid for when the windows first went in.

Repairs that Save You the Cost of Replacement
Plenty of people ring me assuming a faulty window means a full replacement, and more often than not it does not. A window that sticks, rattles or lets in cold air is usually suffering from one worn component, and swapping that part costs a fraction of a new installation. I will always tell you honestly when a repair is the sensible route and when it genuinely is not worth it. That advice has kept our Battersea customers coming back for decades.

FAQs
Can a misted double glazed unit be fixed without replacing the frame?
Yes. The sealed glass unit sits inside your existing frame, so we simply remove the failed unit and fit a new one. The frame, hinges and handles all stay put.
How soon can you board up a broken window after a break in?
We aim to get someone out the same day for emergencies. Boarding secures the property straight away, then we return with the correct glass once it is cut to size.
Will a repaired window still meet building regulations?
Any replacement glass we fit meets current safety and energy efficiency standards, and we are FENSA registered, so the work is certified where certification applies.
Do you stock parts for older window systems?
We hold hardware for most systems installed over the last few decades. If a handle or hinge has been discontinued, we will source the closest working match rather than push you towards a new window.
Is it worth repairing windows that are more than twenty years old?
Often, yes. If the frames are sound and only the glass or hardware has failed, a repair can add years of life. We will be upfront if the frames themselves have gone beyond saving.
