Window Repairs & Replacement
Window Repairs and Replacement in Leominster
Friction hinges, handles and locking mechanisms put right, single panes replaced, and whole windows fitted where the frame has had its day.
Most window faults are hardware rather than the window itself. A friction hinge that has corroded, a handle that spins, a stay that has snapped: each stops the window closing properly and each is a part that can be changed in minutes for a fraction of a replacement. One customer had a UPVC window hinge and a door that needed adjusting sorted within 48 hours of calling.
Timber and sash windows are covered too. One customer had a pane of glass replaced in a sash window and describes it as a fantastic job at good value, which is the sort of work a glazier who is also a carpenter can take on without subcontracting it.
Where a frame really has failed, whole windows are supplied and fitted. Two windows repaired for one customer, a full run measured and fitted for another: the scale of the job follows what the window actually needs, not what is easiest to sell.

How window repairs & replacement works
- Find the actual faultHinge, handle, gearbox, seal or frame: the fix and the cost are completely different for each.
- Hardware firstHinges, stays and handles are stock parts and are usually changed on the same visit.
- Glass or frame if neededPanes are measured and ordered; full frames are quoted before anything is ordered.
- Checked on the sealThe window is opened and closed on the new hardware and the seal checked all round before he leaves.
Common questions about window repairs & replacement
My window will not close properly. Is the window ruined?
Almost never. It is usually a worn friction hinge or a dropped sash, both of which are adjusted or replaced as parts while the frame stays put.
Do you work on wooden and sash windows?
Yes. Steve is a carpenter as well as a glazier, so timber frames and sash panes are covered rather than turned away.
Can you replace just one window?
Yes, single windows are no problem, right down to one pane in one sash.
How long do replacement windows take?
Windows are measured on site and made to size, then fitted once they arrive, typically within a couple of weeks.

We recently moved to Leominster and found that one of our double glazed French doors had dropped leaving a large gap and a lock that struggled to work. We spoke to one company who said the door would almost certainly need replacing at a cost of approximately £2000! I then found Steve's details online and gave him a call. He was friendly and helpful from the off. He came and looked at the door, took it off the hinges and with a few adjustments he had it working perfectly. Smooth opening, no gap and a lock that worked like new, all for a very reasonable price. I cannot recommend Steve enough and he will be doing more work for us in the very near future.
Had a problem with a UPVC window hinge and a door that needed adjusting, Called Steve he was very professional, responding quickly to my enquiry, 48hrs later all fixed. Highly recommend Steve for his workmanship, reasonable prices and very polite nature. Thanks Steve.
What can I say, Steve has been a diamond, came out promptly to replace a pane of glass in my sash window. Steve did a fantastic job. Very professional, friendly, efficient and good value. I would highly recommend.
Steve is a superstar, he came and measured my very misted up window gave me a very reasonable quote and said he'd be back within the week. True to his word, he installed the window quickly and very efficiently. I now have a throughly clear window, 10 year guarantee too...a win win! I fully reccomend Steve an absolutely lovely and friendly guy. Thank you Steve.
