Window Repair Brixton
A window that sticks, leaks or lets the cold in is a daily irritation, and a smashed one is a real worry. I have run Direct Glass for over three decades and my team repairs windows across Brixton, from Victorian terraces to converted flats. We carry glass and common parts with us, so most jobs are finished in one visit. Call us and we will get your window working properly again.
Window Faults We Put Right in Brixton
- Misted and Blown Double Glazing - Condensation between the panes means the seal has failed. We fit a new glass unit and leave your existing frame in place.
- Stiff or Dropped Hinges - Sashes that catch on the frame usually come down to worn friction stays, which we swap for new ones.
- Failed Handles and Locks - Security fittings wear out long before the window does. We match replacements for most uPVC and aluminium systems.
- Cracked or Smashed Glass - From an accidental knock to a break-in, we make the opening safe first, then fit new glass cut to size.
We arrive with glass, tools and the parts most jobs need already loaded.
Your window is inspected and the fault explained without jargon.
The repair is completed on site wherever it can be.
Everything is tested, the area swept, and nothing left behind.
Repair First, Replace Only if We Have To
Plenty of Brixton homes have windows that look beyond saving but only need a new hinge, a fresh sealed unit or a proper adjustment. That is always where we start. A full frame replacement costs far more than it needs to, and on period properties it can spoil the look of the house. We will tell you honestly what your window needs and what it does not.

FAQs
Can a misted double glazed window be fixed without a new frame?
Almost always. The frame is usually sound and only the sealed unit has failed, so we measure the opening and fit a new unit into it.
Are parts still available for older window systems?
Often, yes. We can source hinges, handles and locks for systems discontinued years ago, and where a part no longer exists we fit a compatible alternative.
Will my window be as secure after a repair as it was when new?
It should be. Replacement locks and handles meet current standards, which on an older window is usually an improvement on the originals.
Can you reach the windows on upper floors of flats and conversions?
Yes. Much of our Brixton work is in first and second floor flats. Most repairs are done from inside, and where outside access is needed we arrange it beforehand.
Is it worth repairing a window that is already quite old?
Very often it is. Age alone does not mean a window has had its day, and a well made frame can carry on for years once the moving parts and glass are sorted out.
