Window hinge replacement means taking out the worn friction-stay hinges on an outward-opening uPVC or aluminium casement window and fitting a new, correctly sized matched pair. It fixes a sash that has dropped, catches the frame, lets in draughts or won’t lock, without replacing the window.
At Window Fixers it costs from £175 per window, including parts, labour and VAT, and most windows are done in a single visit.
Both hinges, fitting and VAT included

No call-out charge, ever
A window not closing properly or letting in draughts is usually down to worn friction stays. Send us a photo and we’ll confirm before you book.
The sash no longer sits evenly in the frame, leaving a gap you can see or feel, often at one corner.
A sash that doesn’t pull in tight against the frame lets cold air through.
The window catches, rubs or won’t pull shut because the hinges no longer hold it square.
The sash sags on the handle side and you have to lift it before the handle will turn.
Light between the sash and frame means the window isn’t sealing properly.
Corroded, stiff, squeaking or visibly broken friction stays need replacing.
We replace hinges on outward-opening uPVC and aluminium casement windows, side-hung and top-hung. We don’t work on timber windows, sash windows, Velux or skylight windows, single or secondary glazing, water leaks or mastic replacement.
Window fault finder
Answer two or three questions about what your window does. You’ll see the likely fault, how we fix it and the fixed price.
Fixed prices per window for supply and fitting, with both hinges replaced as a matched pair. VAT included and no call-out charge.
Worn, rusty, snapped or dropped sashes on most small and medium windows (8–16 inch).
Limit how far the window opens, ideal for children’s rooms and upper floors.
Open to around 90° to give a wide, clear escape route in an emergency.
The sash slides inward so you can clean the outside glass from indoors.

Prices are for standard, safely accessible uPVC casement windows. Very large, unusually heavy, externally glazed or hard-to-reach windows are quoted individually.
No home visit needed to get a price.
WhatsApp or email the whole window plus a close-up of the hinge and any gap. We identify the hinge type and size and send a fixed price.
Your engineer removes the worn friction stays, fits a new matched pair and realigns the sash. No mess, no damage to frames or glass.
We check it opens, closes and locks without lifting. The sash closes tight, the draught is gone, and you pay only when it’s done.

This company is fantastic ! From booking the job to completion.

I will definitely be using them again and recommending to all my friends and family

Standard uPVC casement hinge replacement costs £175 per window for 8–16 inch friction stays, or £195 for larger 20–24 inch hinges. Restrictor, egress and easy-clean hinges add £15, heavy-duty hinges £35. Three or more windows at one property get 20% off. Prices include parts, labour and VAT.
Common signs are a gap around the closed sash, draughts on the hinge side, a sash that has dropped or catches the frame, and having to lift the window before the handle will lock. Other faults can cause the same symptoms, so we check before replacing anything.
On a uPVC casement window, the most common cause is worn or bent friction-stay hinges that let the sash drop out of line, so it catches the frame or the handle won’t engage. Fitting a new matched pair and realigning the sash fixes it, from £175 per window. A faulty handle or locking gearbox can cause similar symptoms, so we check from your photos first.
Yes. A draughty or drafty uPVC window often has worn hinges that no longer pull the sash tight against the frame. Our draughty window repair replaces the hinges and realigns the sash so it closes tightly again, from £175 per window, all in.
Usually not. If the frame and sash are sound, we remove the old hinges and fit a new matched pair while keeping your existing window and glass.
The two hinges work as a matched pair to support and position the sash. If one has worn, the other has had the same age and load, so we replace both to restore balanced, even operation.
Friction stays are the metal hinges fitted to most outward-opening uPVC casement windows. They hold the sash and control how it moves as it opens and closes.
It depends on the window’s size, weight, hinge type and access. Most windows are finished in a single visit, and we confirm timings when we quote.
Yes. We identify the existing hinge setup from your photos and fit the right restrictor, egress (fire-escape), easy-clean or heavy-duty replacement.
Often, yes. Many first-floor casement windows can be repaired from inside, depending on the window design and safe access. We check access before confirming the job.
Yes. We replace worn, bent or snapped friction hinges on outward-opening aluminium casement windows as well as uPVC, fitting a new matched pair sized for the sash, often heavy-duty stays for heavier aluminium windows. Send a photo and we’ll confirm the hinge type and a fixed price before we book.
No. Our hinge service is for uPVC and aluminium casement windows that open outwards. We don’t repair timber windows, sash windows, Velux or skylight windows, single or secondary glazing, water leaks or mastic replacement.
Send a photo or short video on WhatsApp showing the whole window and the problem: the gap, the damaged hinge or how it fails to close. We’ll reply with a fixed price, usually within 15 minutes during opening hours.
Worn friction hinges can’t be rebuilt, so a window hinge repair means fitting a new matched pair of the same size and type. It costs from £175 per window, including the hinges, fitting, realignment and VAT, and is far cheaper than a new window.
Stiff, broken or insecure locks, handles and gearboxes repaired or replaced.
Foggy units with failed seals replaced with crystal-clear glass.
Draughty, stuck or misaligned windows put right without replacing them.
