We are a Wishaw firm. Not a national company with a Wishaw postcode on the website, not a call centre that passes your job to somebody else. Two people, family run, more than thirty years of working on uPVC windows and doors in Wishaw and the towns around it.
If something has gone wrong with a window or a door, we will come and look at it and tell you honestly what it needs. If you want new ones, we fit those too. What we will not do is turn a handle repair into a quote for a full house of windows.
Windows and doors in Wishaw, repaired first
Most people who ring us think they need more than they actually do.
A window that has misted over, a door that will not lock, a handle that spins in your hand, a hinge that has dropped so the sash catches on the frame. Every one of those sounds like a big job and almost none of them are. The frame, the glass and the hardware are separate things, and it is nearly always one of them that has failed rather than all three.
So we start from repair. If the frame is sound and the fault is a part, we change the part. That is cheaper for you, it is quicker, and it is the honest answer. When a window or a door genuinely has reached the end we will say so plainly, and we fit new ones, so you are not being sent somewhere else.
Window repairs in Wishaw
The jobs that come up week in and week out.
Misted and blown sealed units. Fog or condensation inside the glass that you cannot wipe off, because the seal has gone and moisture has got in between the panes. The unit is replaced and the frame stays exactly where it is. There is more detail on our sealed unit replacement page and on double glazing repairs.
Handles, hinges and locking mechanisms. A handle that has snapped or gone loose, a window that needs a shove to shut, a lock that will not engage. Small parts, big difference. Our window repair page goes through each of them.
Draughts, rattles and whistling. Nearly always the gaskets and seals around the opener rather than anything structural, and one of the cheapest things we do.
Cracked and broken glass. Made to measure every time, including obscure patterns for bathrooms and toughened glass where it is needed.
Door repairs in Wishaw
Doors go wrong in a handful of predictable ways.
It will not lock unless you lift and shove. The door has dropped on its hinges or the mechanism has worn. Often an adjustment, sometimes a new gearbox.
The key turns and nothing happens. The cylinder or the mechanism has failed. Both are replaceable without touching the door itself.
The handle has gone loose or snapped. One of the smallest jobs on the list and one of the most common calls we get.
Draughts around the edges. Seals and alignment rather than a new door.
Patio and French doors that stick or drag. Rollers, hinges and alignment. Our uPVC and composite door repairs page covers each of these properly.
New windows in Wishaw
When replacement genuinely is the right answer, it is usually because the frames themselves have gone rather than the parts hung on them. If that is where you are, we supply and fit replacement windows as well.
We fit uPVC in the styles people actually have around here. Casement windows, the standard opener you see on most streets in Wishaw. Flush sash windows, where the opener sits level with the frame for a more traditional look. Tilt and turn windows, which open two ways and clean from inside. Reversible windows, which spin right round so the outside can be cleaned from the room. Vertical sliding sash windows for older properties and anywhere a traditional look matters. And triple glazing where you want the extra insulation.
Each of those has its own page with the detail on how it works and what it suits, so you can see the difference before anybody comes out.
New doors in Wishaw
Front doors, back doors, patio doors and French doors.
We fit composite doors through the Palladio range, which covers the traditional and the modern styles, and we also fit replacement door panels on existing uPVC doors where the frame is perfectly sound and it is only the panel that has had it.
That last one catches a lot of people out. Swapping a panel costs a fraction of a new door and from the street it looks like a new door.
What windows and doors cost in Wishaw
There is one figure we can give you up front, and we would rather be straight about the rest than publish a list that falls apart the moment we see the job.
Replacing a failed sealed unit in an existing uPVC frame starts from £75. That is a starting price and it is for a small pane, the sort of hopper vent that sits above or below a main window. Bigger panes, toughened glass, obscure glass for a bathroom, energy glass and shaped or leaded units all cost more, and how much more depends on the window in front of us.
Everything else is quoted on its own. Two jobs that sound identical on the phone can need completely different parts, and glass is made to measure every single time. A price list would mean either overcharging you on the easy version of a job or undercutting ourselves on the hard one, so we do not publish one.
There is no call out fee. You do not pay us to come out, you do not pay us to look and you do not pay for the quote. If you decide not to go ahead, you owe us nothing. You pay for the work done and that is all.
Our repair prices page has a fuller explanation of what actually moves a price up or down.
Getting a price without waiting in for anyone
Send a photo. It is by a distance the fastest route to a real number.
A picture of the window or door on WhatsApp, a rough idea of how big the pane is and a line about what it is doing is normally enough for us to come back with a price the same day. Most misted units and most handle, hinge and lock jobs can be priced from a photo without anybody coming out at all.
If you would rather talk it through, ring us on 01698 604 278. If typing is easier, use the contact form. It all lands with the same two people, and we are open eight until five, Monday to Friday.

Common questions
Do you only do repairs, or do you fit new windows too?
Both. Repairs are the bulk of what we do, because that is what most people actually need, but we supply and fit new windows and doors as well.
Are you actually based in Wishaw?
Yes. It is where we work from and where most of our jobs are. You are not being routed through a call centre in another part of the country.
Can you match new glass to what is already in the house?
In nearly every case. We match the specification of what is coming out, including obscure patterns and energy coatings, so a new unit should not stand out from the rest.
How quickly can you come out?
Ring and ask. Small jobs are often within a few days, and glass has a short lead time because it is cut to measure.
Do you charge to quote?
No. No call out fee and no charge for the quote, whether you go ahead or not.
Do you take card?
Yes, along with cash and bank transfer.
