Ideal for homeowners and rental properties

Property maintenance is especially useful when:

  • you manage a rental and want issues fixed fast and properly

  • you’re preparing a property for new tenants or sale

  • a door or window isn’t operating smoothly or locking securely

  • you’ve got drafts, rattles, or water getting in around older joinery

How we get it sorted

Window & Door Maintenance – FAQs

What types of window and door maintenance do you provide?

We repair and replace a wide range of window and door hardware and components, including:

  • Window handle levers

  • Window stays and security stays

  • Ranchslider rollers

  • Ranchslider handles and locks

  • Sliding door tracks

  • Mohair strips and brush seals

  • Draft sealing and weather seals

  • Rubber wedge seals on aluminium windows

  • Putty replacement on timber windows

  • Timber joinery repairs

If your windows or doors are hard to open, rattling, or not sealing properly, we can usually repair them.

Can you fix windows that won’t open or close properly?

Yes. Windows that are difficult to open or close are often caused by worn hardware, damaged stays, failed seals, or alignment issues.

In many cases we can repair or replace the hardware and service the window to restore smooth operation.

Can you repair sliding doors that are hard to slide?

Yes. Sliding doors commonly become difficult to move when rollers wear out or tracks become damaged or dirty.

We can replace worn rollers, service tracks, and adjust the door so it slides smoothly again.

Can you help stop drafts coming through my windows or doors?

Yes. Drafts are often caused by worn seals, damaged mohair strips, or gaps around frames.

We can install new seals and weather stripping to improve comfort and reduce heat loss in your home.

Do I need to replace the whole window if the hardware is broken?

In most cases, no. Many window and door issues can be resolved simply by replacing the hardware or servicing the moving parts, which is much more cost-effective than replacing the entire unit.

Do you repair timber window and door frames?

Yes. Timber joinery can sometimes suffer from rot, water damage, or general wear over time.

Where possible, we can repair minor rotten or damaged timber sections, replace glazing putty, and restore the joinery so the window or door continues to function properly.
