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.

A sticking window can involve alignment, hinges, hardware or the frame itself. Explain whether the sash moves, closes and locks, and share the frame material so the right repair and components can be planned.
Urgent repair
Call to discuss the fault
Call if a window or external door cannot be secured or glass is damaged. Keep people away from unsafe glazing.
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.
Check the reported operation and visible hardware.
Agree adjustment or compatible component replacement.
Check closing and locking after the agreed work.

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.

Questions about window, door & carpentry repairs
Can you quote for a window that will not shut?+
Photos help identify the fitting and likely visit scope. The cause and condition need checking before the final repair can be agreed.
Can you repair windows and doors instead of replacing them?+
Adjustment, hardware or seal repairs may restore operation if the frame is sound. We assess the condition and available components before explaining repair and replacement options.
How much does window adjustment & repairs cost?+
