Start with what you can see
Find the right repair in South Kensington
You do not need to know the technical name. Choose the description that fits, then see the repair options and what to include in your enquiry.
My window will not close properly. Can it be repaired?
Describe the window material and whether it catches, drops or has a faulty handle. Adjustment or replacement hardware may help, depending on the frame and available parts. Broken glass, damaged timber and failed glazing seals need separate consideration.
My sash window is stuck or will not stay open. What can you do?
Tell us whether the sash sticks, drops or has a damaged cord, and share a photo taken without forcing it. We arrange a review of the moving parts and timber, then scope suitable repairs. Any changes to a protected building need the relevant permissions considered before work.
A kitchen cupboard door is hanging loose. Do I need a new kitchen?
A local hinge, fixing or door adjustment may be sufficient. Send a close photo of the hardware and a wider photo of the cabinet, keeping clear of an unstable door. Compatibility and damage to the cabinet determine whether it can be repaired or needs a replacement component.
The work, explained
How we can help
- Sticking windows and doors, hinges and operating hardware.
- Draught seals, sash-window repairs and timber condition checks.
- Broken glazing enquiries with safe handling and replacement priced separately.
The repair depends on the frame, hardware and safe access. Fire doors, structural work, complete replacements and glazing require an appropriate specialist and separately defined scope.
Help us plan your visit
What to include in your enquiry
- Send a photo of the whole opening plus the handle, hinge or damaged area.
- Say whether it opens, closes and locks, and whether it is an external or fire door.
- Mention listed-building status, shared ownership and matching finishes.

Window, door & carpentry repairs in South Kensington
Planning the repair at your South Kensington property
For a South Kensington mansion flat or converted home, plan repairs around building access and existing finishes. A fault at a window or outside wall may need the freeholder’s involvement as well as access inside the flat.
Private joinery or a building-controlled opening?
Before ordering windows, handles or door parts, identify who maintains the opening and whether it is a fire door. Share any building specification. A visually similar part may not be appropriate for the existing system or its safety function.
Repair options for original sash windows and doors
Describe sticking, draughts, damaged timber or broken hardware separately. The condition of the existing joinery guides whether adjustment or repair is suitable. Changes to historic windows or protected fabric need the appropriate checks before replacement is chosen.
Example work, explained
Repairing a sash-window mechanism
- The problem
- A sash sticks, feels unusually heavy or will not stay in position. Worn cords, fittings, paint build-up or timber damage need different repairs.
- The work involved
- The joiner checks the window and agrees a repair suited to its condition, such as replacing a cord or adjusting fittings. Timber restoration, glazing and changes to appearance are scoped separately.
- Checks and next steps
- Check movement, balance and closing, and explain any remaining timber, glazing or finishing work. The repair should suit the existing window and property requirements.

Help us prepare the right visit
Give the flat number and floor, contractor access rules and any permission already obtained. Explain whether the work changes an exterior feature or repairs the existing one.
Can you replace my apartment window with any matching design?
The existing frame, glazing, opening restrictions and building requirements need checking first. Freeholder approval, planning or specialist access may affect the specification and price.
Must I replace a draughty sash window?
Not necessarily. Existing joinery may have repair or draught-reduction options. The condition, desired performance and any heritage restrictions determine an appropriate specification.
