uPVC Window Repairs in Hertfordshire
If your uPVC windows are draughty, jammed, misted, difficult to close or no longer secure, we can inspect the problem and repair what is practical before you replace the whole window.
Andrews Glass provide uPVC window repairs across Hertfordshire, helping with broken handles, failed hinges, faulty locks, draughts, misted glass, damaged seals, replacement double glazed units and uPVC windows that will not open or close properly. Based in Sawbridgeworth, we have been trusted locally for over 50 years for glass, glazing, windows and doors.
Are Your uPVC Windows Stuck, Draughty or Letting You Down?
uPVC windows can often be repaired before they need replacing. The problem is knowing whether the fault is with the handle, hinge, lock, seal, glass unit or frame.
- uPVC windows that will not close properly
- Draughts around the frame or opening sash
- Broken handles, locks or hinges
- Misted, cloudy or failed double glazed units
- Condensation between the glass panes
- Windows that are jammed, stiff or difficult to operate
- Loose, damaged or worn seals
- Concern that the window may not be secure
We understand. A faulty uPVC window is frustrating, especially when it affects warmth, security or day-to-day use. Our team will assess the issue, explain whether repair is practical, and only recommend replacement where repair no longer makes sense.
Repair the Fault Before Replacing the Whole Window
Not every failed uPVC window needs a full replacement. In many cases, a repair to the hinges, locking mechanism, seals or glass unit can restore the window’s function, appearance and comfort.
Before uPVC Window Repair
- Window hard to open, close or lock
- Draughts making the room colder
- Misted glass affecting the appearance
- Concern about security or weather protection
After uPVC Window Repair
- Smoother opening and closing where repair is possible
- Better sealing and reduced draughts
- Clearer glass with replacement units where needed
- Improved security and everyday usability

uPVC Window Repairs We Offer
Different faults need different repair routes. We can help identify whether the issue is mechanical, glazing-related, seal-related or whether the full window has reached the end of its useful life.
The Benefits of Repairing uPVC Windows
Repairing a uPVC window can often be the most practical route when the frame is still serviceable and the issue is limited to the glass, hardware, seals or mechanism.
Can avoid full replacement
Where the window is repairable, fixing the specific fault can be more cost-effective than replacing the full unit.
Improves comfort
Repairing hinges, seals and glass issues can help reduce draughts and make rooms feel more comfortable.
Restores security
Faulty handles, locks and closing mechanisms can affect security and should be dealt with properly.
Improves appearance
Replacing failed misted glass units can make windows look clearer, cleaner and better maintained.

uPVC Window Repair FAQs
Do you repair uPVC windows across Hertfordshire?
Yes. Andrews Glass repair uPVC windows across Hertfordshire and nearby areas, including Sawbridgeworth, Bishop’s Stortford, Harlow, Epping, Hertford, Ware, Hoddesdon, Stevenage, Welwyn Garden City and surrounding towns.
Can a uPVC window be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes. If the frame is still in reasonable condition, issues with hinges, handles, locks, seals or misted glass units can often be repaired or replaced without changing the full window.
Can you repair uPVC windows that will not close properly?
Yes. Windows that will not close properly may have hinge, alignment, locking or seal issues. We can inspect the window and advise on the right repair.
Can you replace misted glass in uPVC windows?
Yes. If condensation is between the panes, the sealed double glazed unit may have failed. In many cases, the glass unit can be replaced while keeping the existing uPVC frame.
Can you repair broken uPVC window handles?
Yes. We can help with broken, loose, stiff or faulty window handles, subject to the condition and compatibility of the existing window.
Can you repair draughty uPVC windows?
Yes. Draughts can be caused by worn hinges, damaged seals, poor alignment or older components. We can inspect the window and advise whether repair is practical.
When should I replace rather than repair a uPVC window?
Replacement may be better if the frame is warped, badly damaged, insecure or if repair costs no longer make sense. Andrews Glass can advise whether repair or replacement is the better route.
Do you also supply new uPVC windows?
Yes. If repair is not practical, we can advise on replacement uPVC windows. You can also view our dedicated uPVC windows page for more information.
How do I get a quote for uPVC window repairs?
