Common uPVC window lock problems
Window locks and handles fail on uPVC windows and on the older timber windows of Colchester's Victorian terraces. We repair or replace them so the window shuts tight and locks again.
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 Colchester: common questions
How much is a window lock repair in Colchester?
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.
Which areas around Colchester do you cover?
Every CO postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Chelmsford, Ipswich, Braintree, Witham, Tiptree, Wivenhoe. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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 Colchester, 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 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.
Do you cover Clacton, Harwich and the Tendring coast as well as Colchester?
Yes. The CO area runs from Colchester out to Clacton-on-Sea, Frinton, Walton-on-the-Naze and Harwich, and west to Halstead and Sudbury. The same 24 hour line and no callout fee if you go ahead apply across all of it.
Can you change the locks in a rented student house or flat?
Yes. Landlords and letting agents often book a lock change between tenancies, and tenants can arrange one with the landlord's permission. The engineer confirms the price before starting, and locks fitted carry a 12-month guarantee on parts.
