    Broken Window Hinge Repair in Leicester

    A window with a bent hinge won't seal properly, so you're losing heat and letting water past the gasket. A broken hinge is also a security weak point — the sash can be levered. Fitted and diagnosed by our own team across Leicester (LE1–LE5) — never subcontracted.

    Family-run, local installers — never subcontracted.

    The one-visit hinge swap

    If you can see bent or twisted metal on the arm at the side of your window sash, that's the friction stay and it needs replacing before it fails completely. On a typical Leicester callout we'd bring likely sizes and fit them the same visit.

    Symptoms we hear from Leicester customers

    • Window sash has dropped and now rubs the frame when closing
    • Sash won't open or opens at the wrong angle
    • Visible bent or twisted metal on the hinge (friction stay)
    • Handle is now hard to turn because the sash is out of alignment

    How we fix it

    We identify the stay make (Cotswold, Nico, Chameleon or generic) from the arm profile, measure the sash weight and size, then order a like-for-like or upgraded pair. Fitted in one visit. Pair of new friction stays sized to the sash — usually stainless steel for longevity. We adjust the keeps at the same time so the sash closes cleanly and the handle doesn't have to be forced.

    • Stainless steel stays as standard for corrosion resistance
    • Both hinges swapped as a pair so wear is even
    • Keep re-alignment included
    • Likely causes on Leicester homes: Wind catching an open sash and bending the friction-stay arm; Corrosion on a 15+ year old stay (especially on side-facing installs).
