What this covers
A window fitter measures the opening, orders or builds the frame, removes the old window and installs the new one in aluminium, PVC or timber, with single, double or laminated glass. The service covers finishing trims, seals, shutters and insect screens. Fitters also repair: replacing broken glass, changing hardware, realigning sashes that no longer close and renewing weather seals.
What people ask for most
- Replacing old windows with double glazing

- Repairing window handles and locks
- Freeing jammed sliding windows
- Renewing seals against rain and wind
- Fitting or repairing roller shutters

Timing and emergencies
Broken glass is urgent, especially in wind or rain. Clear the pieces with gloves, board the opening with rigid sheet and tape, and photograph the window inside and out with a tape measure in shot. If it is on an upper floor or there are children at home, do not leave the opening covered only overnight while you wait for quotes.
