Dirt and grime can affect appearance and performance. Use a mild detergent with warm water to clean glass and frames. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage protective coatings.
Tip: A microfibre cloth ensures streak-free glass.
Over time, hinges and locks can become stiff, affecting operation. Apply a silicone-based lubricant every 6–12 months to keep moving parts in good condition.
Tip: Regular lubrication prevents rust and extends the life of window hardware.
Seals play a crucial role in window and door maintenance by preventing draughts and moisture penetration. Check for cracks or wear and replace damaged seals to maintain insulation.
Tip: If you feel a draught even when windows are closed, faulty seals may be the cause.
Loose or broken locks and handles compromise security and usability. Test them regularly to ensure they operate smoothly.
Solution: Window Fixers provides window lock repairs for ÂŁ145 per window and handle replacements from ÂŁ90.
Condensation inside double glazed windows indicates seal failure, reducing energy efficiency. This requires professional window and door repair to replace the glass unit.

Dirt, dust, and exposure to weather can affect door performance. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean uPVC and aluminium doors.
Tip: Avoid excessive moisture, especially around locks and hinges.
A well-sealed door enhances insulation. Damaged or worn-out seals can cause heat loss and allow moisture inside. Inspect door gaskets and replace them if necessary.
Tip: Sealing gaps in doors improves both insulation and soundproofing.
Doors that squeak or resist closing may need lubrication. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to hinges and locks for smooth operation.
Tip: If the lock feels stiff, servicing may be required to prevent further issues.
Over time, doors may sag or shift out of place, making them difficult to close. Tighten loose hinges and adjust alignment if needed.
