FAQs

Window Hinges in Northolt — Your Questions

Why has my window dropped?

Almost always worn friction hinges. Over time they lose tension and the sash sags, which is when it starts catching on the frame.
Occasionally an adjustment is enough, but worn hinges are usually replaced — they’re inexpensive and it’s a permanent fix.
Hinges come in different sizes and handings, so we measure yours first. Common sizes we carry; the rest we order and fit within a few days.
Fire-escape hinges that let the window open wider, so it can be used as an escape route. We can fit these where they’re required.
By a long way — a hinge replacement is one of the cheapest window repairs there is.
