Frequently Asked Questions — Ilford
-
My uPVC door won't lock when I lift the handle, what's the fault?
Almost always the multipoint gearbox or one of the locking hooks. Across Ilford's 1990s and 2000s installations this is the single most common call. Repair is £69 to £159 depending on the brand.
-
Can the gearbox be replaced without changing the door?
Yes. The gearbox is a strip-out part. Once the lock case is removed, a matching unit goes back in. The door itself stays in place.
-
How long does the repair take?
30 to 60 minutes on the doorstep in most cases. Yale, ERA, Avocet, Mila, Maco and GU gearboxes are all stocked in the van.
-
Loose handle and dragging door, can both be fixed in one visit?
Yes. Loose handles need new spindles and screws, dragging doors need hinge adjustment or fresh keeps. Both are quoted as a single combined job.
-
Why has my back door gone stiff?
Hinges drop over time and the door panel sags slightly, throwing the multipoint hooks off line with the keeps. A 20 minute alignment usually solves it.
-
What about French doors and patio sliders?
Both covered. Multipoint repairs on French doors and roller replacement on patio sliders are part of the standard service.
-
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every uPVC repair has a 12 month parts and labour guarantee, listed on the written invoice.
