Repairs suited to Newcastle housing
Much of Newcastle is made up of Tyneside flats and Victorian terraces where the original timber windows have been replaced with uPVC over the past few decades. Those early uPVC systems are now at the age where sealed units mist up and friction stays give way, and both are straightforward repairs rather than reasons to replace the whole window.
In the newer estates around Great Park, Newburn and Walkergate, the common calls are composite front doors that have dropped and multipoint mechanisms that have stiffened. We realign the door and replace only the parts that have actually worn.
For student lets and HMOs across Jesmond, Heaton and Sandyford we work directly with landlords and agents, attending with tenants present and invoicing on account.
Typical property in the area: tyneside flats, victorian terraces, city centre apartments and modern estates.
Newcastle in practice
The five calls we take most often in the city
Our van is out across Newcastle every working day, and the same handful of faults come up again and again on city housing.
- Misted sealed units in the first generation of uPVC fitted to Tyneside flats
- Friction stays that have collapsed on a bedroom sash and left it catching the frame
- Composite front doors on the Great Park and Newburn estates needing a lift to lock
- Cylinder changes on Jesmond and Sandyford student lets at changeover
- Night time boarding up on the Quayside and city centre flats after glass damage

Misted and Failed Units
When condensation appears between the panes of a double glazed window, the sealed unit has failed. The glass looks permanently cloudy, the view is ruined and the window no longer insulates the room the way it should.

A door that will not lock is not an inconvenience, it is a security problem. We repair uPVC, composite and aluminium doors across Newcastle and the North East, usually in a single visit and usually without replacing the door.
Read moreWindow Repairs
Windows that stick, drop, whistle in the wind or refuse to lock rarely need replacing. Almost every moving part of a uPVC window is a serviceable component, and replacing that component costs a small fraction of a new window.

Hinges, locks and handles are the parts that do all the work, so they are the parts that wear out. They are also the parts that keep your home secure, which is why a failed handle or seized lock should not be left.
