Service overview

Window Hinge Repairs Explained

What the service is

We check the window, identify the worn or broken hinge, and fit a replacement of the right type and size so the sash sits square in the frame.

Signs of a failing hinge

The window drops when opened, catches on the frame, will not stay open, needs forcing shut, or leaves a gap that lets draughts in.

Repair, not replace

A failed hinge rarely means a new window. Replacing the hinge is usually a far cheaper fix on an otherwise sound frame.

Why it matters

A badly fitting sash strains the lock and seals. Fixing the hinge early protects the rest of the window.

The cost of waiting

What Happens If You Leave It

A dropped sash wears the lock and keeps until the window will not lock at all.
A gap at the closed edge lets draughts and rain in.
A completely failed hinge can leave a sash hanging loose.

Common mistakes to avoid

Fitting a hinge of the wrong size or type.
Forcing a sticking window shut, which damages the frame.
Replacing the whole window when only the hinge has failed.

In detail

Everything To Know About Window Hinge Repairs

Friction hinges

Most uPVC casement windows hang on friction hinges hidden in the frame. They hold the sash in position and wear over years of use. They come in different sizes, which is why the survey matters.
