Frequently Asked Questions — Chester
-
Why won't my uPVC door lock without lifting the handle hard?
The door has dropped on its hinges and the multipoint hooks aren't aligning with the keeps in the frame. Hinge adjustment fixes it in around 20 minutes.
-
What does uPVC repair cost in Chester?
Hinge realignment £69 to £89. Multipoint gearbox replacement £139 to £189. Handle and spindle £79 to £109.
-
Can you replace just the gearbox or do I need a new door?
Almost always just the gearbox. Vans carry GU, Yale, Maco, Fuhr, ERA stock. Door replacement is rare and we'd say so honestly.
-
My uPVC handle has gone floppy, what is it?
Internal cassette has worn or snapped. Easy fix, around 60 minutes once the right size is identified.
-
Do you fix patio and bifold doors too?
Yes. Same multipoint mechanisms as standard uPVC, just larger frames. Sliders, French doors, and bifolds covered across CH postcodes.
-
Will the door look the same after?
Yes. Internals replaced, exterior untouched. New handles matched to existing finish where possible.
-
How long does the typical repair take?
Most jobs done within an hour. Hinge adjustments closer to 20 minutes. Gearbox swaps around 60.
