Common uPVC window lock problems
Sash and casement windows in older Bloomsbury and Covent Garden buildings often have worn catches or locks that have been painted over. We repair or replace window locks so street-facing and ground-floor windows close and lock securely.
A handle that turns but does not lock, a handle that has snapped, or a window that will not close tight. Most of these come from a worn handle or a failed espagnolette, the locking bar inside the frame.
We replace handles with locking handles where you want them, so windows can be locked with a key, and fix or replace the mechanism behind them. Patio and French door locks are part of the same job.

Window lock repair in Central London: common questions
How much is a window lock repair in Central London?
From £69 for a uPVC window handle or lock. If the locking mechanism inside the frame has failed, the engineer tells you the price for that before doing it.
Can you fit locking window handles?
Yes. We fit keyed locking handles to uPVC windows, often asked for by insurers and by parents of young children.
Do you charge a callout fee?
No callout fee when you go ahead with the job. If you decide not to go ahead after the engineer has arrived, a £49 assessment fee covers the visit. Otherwise you pay for the job itself in Central London, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
Do nights and weekends cost more?
No. The price is the same at 3am on a Sunday as it is at midday on a Tuesday, bank holidays included.
How do I pay?
When the job is finished. Card, cash or bank transfer, and you get a written receipt you can use for an insurance claim.
How does pricing work?
Tell us the door, the lock and what has happened, and we give you a free quote on the phone. When the engineer arrives, they check the lock and confirm the final price with you before starting any work. Nothing is done without your agreement. A £49 assessment fee applies only if you cancel after the engineer has arrived.
Can you change the lock on a shared street door in a converted Bloomsbury house?
Yes, though the freeholder or managing agent usually has to agree first when the door is communal. Our engineers fit BS3621 locks and anti-snap cylinders, the quote is free on the phone, and the price is confirmed before work starts.
Will an engineer come out late at night to the Covent Garden and Strand area?
Yes. The line is open 24 hours with no callout fee if you go ahead, and typical arrival is 15 to 20 minutes. The engineer confirms the price before starting work.
