Every homeowner will experience a sticky or squeaky window or door. They feel the urge to grab a can of oil or a screwdriver for a quick DIY fix. However, for modern, high performance glazing systems, that quick fix may be doing more harm than good. 

Modern, multi-chambered, double glazed windows and doors rely on precise internal mechanisms and alignments. Incorrect adjustments can void warranties or sometimes cause expensive, deeper damage.

At SRJ Windows, we have been established since 1992 and we are the regional specialist whose knowledge ensures the long term performance of our high quality products. 

Therefore, this article will act as a guide to help homeowners like you identify the signs that professional intervention is necessary to maintain security, efficiency and our SRJ Platinum Guarantee.

Signs Your Windows or Doors Need Professional Attention

energy performance

1. Compromised Energy Performance

You may find that you can feel cold air or draughts coming from around the frame or sash of your window or door. 

Fogging or moisture between the glass panes, indicating a failed sealed unit is another common sign your window or door requires a professional replacement.

You may even find that your utility bills are rising. Minor operational faults can lead to measurable financial losses.

2. Functional & Operational Issues

You may find it difficult to operate or latch your window or door. This is common for composite, uPVC and bifold doors. Sticking, dragging and binding are also common difficulties.

If your lock requires excessive force or your handles don’t fully engage the multi point locking mechanism, this is a big sign that your window or door needs professional attention, especially as this is a serious security risk.

If you are hearing a grinding or clicking when you are opening or closing your window or door, this is a sign that a hinge or mechanism is worn and needs replacing.

3. Visible Damage & Wear

If you can see a visible gap between the window/door frame and the sash when the unit is closed, this is a visible sign that your window/door needs professional repair. 

Furthermore, sagging in doors and windows is another large sign. This is common with patio and French doors

What SRJ Offers in Repair Services

Here at SRJ, we carry out a thorough assessment to identify the root cause of the faults in your window or door. We aim to not just repair the issue, but to treat the root cause too, leading to a longer lifetime of your windows and doors.

We repair the following:

  • Realignment: Repair of hinges and sashes to ensure a perfect fit, restoring weatherproofing and operational smoothness. 
  • Locking System Repairs: Repair and replacement of high security locking to ensure full engagement and security.
  • Seal & Gasket Replacement: Repair of weather seals to maintain thermal performance and prevent water ingress. 
  • Hardware Repairs: Repair of worn handles, friction and hinge mechanisms.

We also share our specialised knowledge with you including our expertise in different materials and door types. 

Why Professional Repairs Matter For Longevity & Performance

A repaired system prevents stress and strain on your window and door components, preventing premature failure. 

Professional repairs are also essential to restoring the integrity of our energy rated ‘A’ windows to maximise insulation, keeping in heat and bills down.

Repairs to your security, ensuring the high quality locks and frames supplied by SRJ function as designed, providing you with the ultimate peace of mind.

Most importantly, having a professional repair your window or door will maintain the validity and benefits of our 10 year, platinum guarantee.

Cost vs Benefit: Investing In Expert Help

A small, expert repair now can prevent the need for a full, costly replacement later on.

When we repair your SRJ products, you are investing in our three decades of accumulated knowledge and expertise as well as our specialised tools. 

Investing in a professional service will equip you with long term savings through consistent energy efficiency and avoiding future call outs fees from less experienced contractors.

Windows look great!’ – Lorraine Den-kaat

5 star review srj

‘Excellent customer service. I needed my new door fitted urgently and they managed to bring forward the installation date. Nothing was too much trouble. Fitters arrived on time and cleaned up after the job was done. The repair to surrounding plaster work was also done within a few days. All very professional and would definitely recommend.’ – Maria Duff

5 star review
