Frequently Asked Questions — Romford
-
uPVC door won't lift?
Three usual culprits: worn multipoint gearbox, dropped door from sagging hinges, or misaligned keep. We diagnose on arrival and quote before swapping anything.
-
Gearbox replacement cost?
£69 to £159 fitted across Romford, depending on brand and case length. Common patterns kept on the van.
-
Repair or full replacement?
Most uPVC doors are repairable. Even doors that feel ruined are usually a £100 fix rather than a £900 swap. We'll be straight with you if yours is past saving.
-
1960s estate doors with older gear?
Adapters cover most legacy multipoint patterns. Where original parts are obsolete, modern equivalents fit the same housing.
-
Floppy handle?
Usually a snapped internal spring. £79 to £109 for a fresh handle pair and gearbox, fitted in around 30 minutes.
-
Will the door be secure afterwards?
Yes. Multiple lock and unlock cycles tested before we leave, every hook and bolt confirmed in the keep.
-
Cylinder upgrade alongside?
Yes, our most common combined job. A 3-star anti-snap added during a multipoint repair adds £40 to £70.
