Why windows drop and stick
Window hinges wear with use, especially on heavier casement windows. A window that has dropped is more than a nuisance: it strains the locking mechanism and can make the window impossible to secure.
Fixing the hinges early usually avoids a bigger repair later. Tilt and turn windows have more moving parts than standard casements, so when one sticks in tilt, we replace the mechanism rather than the window wherever we can.
Questions about window repairs
Do I need a new window if the handle spins?
Usually not. A spinning handle normally means a worn gearbox or a broken espag strip, and both can be replaced without removing the window.
Can you repair tilt and turn windows?
Yes. They are the most common uPVC window type in the UK and have many moving parts that wear. We repair or replace the mechanism instead of the whole window wherever possible.
