My uPVC door drops in the heat. Is that fixable?

Yes. Hinge adjustment plus packing the keep solves most heat-related drop. The Twickenham summer warps cheaper composite slabs every year and a 30-minute realignment usually fixes it.

How much does a typical uPVC repair cost?

£69 for hinge and keep alignment at the cheap end, £149 to £159 for a full multipoint gearbox replacement. We quote on inspection.

Can you replace just the gearbox?

Yes. The gearbox is the part that fails most often. We carry the common patterns on the van and full-strip replacement is rarely needed unless the hooks themselves have broken.

The handle has snapped. Can you sort it?

Inline and offset uPVC handles in stock on every van. Twenty minutes once we identify the spindle size and any colour-match needs.

Do you handle composite doors as well as uPVC?

Yes. Composites use the same multipoint locking systems, just with a thicker slab. Same parts, same engineers.

Will I need to replace the whole door?

Almost never. Failures are mechanism, hinges or keep. The slab itself is fine in 95% of cases. Replacing the door is a last resort.

How quickly can you book me in for a uPVC repair?

Same-day for emergencies in the TW area. Booked appointments usually within 24 to 48 hours.

What Our Customers Say

uPVC handle finally gave up on a windy Saturday. They had the right inline split-spindle handle in stock, fitted in twenty-five minutes. £69.

Sebastian A. uPVC door repair
Composite front door wouldn't lift to lock during the heatwave. Adjusted the strikers and tweaked the hinges. £89 and stopped me getting more annoyed.

Pippa N. uPVC door repair
Three locks rekeyed after the cleaner left. All matched to one key for £159. Painless.

Marcus E. Lock change
Front door wouldn't accept the key after I tried forcing it. Turned out the wafers were jammed. Replaced the cylinder, £79, key now turning sweetly.
