Local window repairs and fittings

‍What are some common window repair problems?

Windows face constant use and exposure to the weather, which often leads to problems over time. Some of the most common issues Alfie helps homeowners fix include:

• Cracked or broken glass – Whether from impact or stress, damaged panes need urgent replacement for safety.
  
• Misted double glazing – Failed seals cause condensation between panes, reducing insulation.
  
• Stuck or jammed windows – Worn hinges or warped frames make windows difficult to open or close.
  
• Drafts and leaks – Poor seals or gaps let in cold air and water, raising energy bills.
  
• Broken locks or handles – Security issues that leave your home vulnerable.
  

With Hey Alfie, it’s simple: describe your window issue, submit a job, get quotes from trusted specialists, and book with upfront pricing. Whether it’s a quick repair or a full window replacement, Alfie makes sure your home stays safe, warm, and secure.
