Common uPVC window lock problems

Windows facing the Atlantic take a lot of wind and salt, and catches, fasteners and handles wear faster than most. We repair or replace window locks, handles and restrictors on uPVC and timber windows.

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 Stornoway: common questions

How much is a window lock repair in Stornoway?

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.

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 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 Stornoway, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.

Which areas around Stornoway do you cover?

Every HS postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Tarbert, Balivanich, Lochmaddy. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.

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.

Do you cover Harris, the Uists and Barra as well as Lewis?

Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole HS postcode area, from Stornoway and Tarbert to Lochmaddy, Balivanich, Lochboisdale and Castlebay. Island travel can add time, so give us your postcode on the call and we will tell you the arrival time.

My front door has gone stiff after a winter of Atlantic weather. Can the lock be repaired?

Often, yes. Salt air and driving rain wear on cylinders, hinges and handles, and our engineers can free, repair or replace the lock and check the door closes properly. The engineer confirms the price before starting work.
