Aluminium window repairs in London, and aluminium doors and bifolds too.
Aluminium repairs
Aluminium windows and doors are built to last, but the moving parts and seals are not. When a window will not close, a bifold drags or an aluminium shop door slams, the frame is usually fine. Glazing London repairs aluminium windows, doors and bifolds across Central and North London, and gives you a price for the repair before anyone talks about replacement. Call 07915 903485 or WhatsApp a photo.
Windows
Aluminium window faults we fix
- Friction hinges that have worn, so the window drops or will not stay open
- Shootbolts and espagnolette locking that no longer engage
- Handles that spin, stick or have snapped
- Shrunken wedge gaskets letting in draughts and rain
- Misted or cracked sealed units, replaced in the frame
- Loose or opening frame corners on older crimped and mechanically-jointed frames

Near you
Aluminium window and door repairs near you
Our vans carry aluminium window and door parts every day and work out of our Wood Green workshop (N22), 24/7, across Haringey & Wood Green, Islington, Camden, Hackney, Barnet & Finchley, Enfield & Southgate, Hampstead & Highgate and Westminster & the West End. A door or window that won't lock is treated as an emergency; everything else is booked at a time that suits you.
Repair or replace? Aluminium frames usually outlast their hinges, gaskets and glass, so a repair in the existing frame is the first thing we price. Where frames are past saving, we can quote new aluminium windows and doors, supply & fit, made in our own factory.
How it works
From photo to fixed
- Send a photo of the window or door and the part that has failed, or describe it on the phone.
- Fixed price for the repair, before we travel.
- Matched parts. We identify the system and the part sizes, and bring the matching hinge, lock or gasket where we can.
- Repaired and adjusted so the window or door opens, closes and locks as it should.

Aluminium repair questions
Can old aluminium windows be repaired, or do they need replacing?
Most can be repaired. The frames themselves last for decades; what wears out is the hardware, the gaskets and the sealed units. We replace those parts in the existing frame, which costs far less than new windows.
Can you get parts for an aluminium system that is no longer made?
Often, yes. Many hinges, shootbolts and handles are made to common sizes, and we match by measurement rather than by brand. Where an exact part is no longer made, we fit the closest working equivalent.
My aluminium bifold door is hard to slide and fold. Can you fix it?
Usually. Bifolds that drag have worn carriages or rollers, a dirty or damaged track, or a frame that has dropped. We clean and re-set the track, replace the running gear, and adjust the leaves so they fold and lock again.
Can you replace misted glass in aluminium windows?
Yes. Misted sealed units are replaced in the existing aluminium frame, with new glazing gaskets where the old ones have shrunk.
Do you repair aluminium shop doors?
Yes, including floor springs, overhead closers, locks and pivots, and broken toughened glass in the door.
How quickly can you repair an aluminium window or door?
Common parts such as handles, hinges, gaskets and closers are often replaced on the first visit. Parts specific to an older or less common aluminium system are matched and ordered, then fitted on a return visit. A door that won't lock is made secure the same day.
