What does a window repair do?
Window repair fixes specific failures on existing windows without full replacement — broken handles, failed hinges, blown sealed units (visible condensation between the panes), worn weatherseal rubbers, jammed sash windows, broken glass, and locking mechanism failures. Most modern uPVC and aluminium windows are designed for component-level repair: replacing a hinge, handle, or sealed unit is straightforward for a competent fitter and typically a fraction of the cost of full window replacement.
In Ireland's housing stock — much of it 1990s-2000s with first-generation double glazing — sealed unit failure (misted glass) is the most common single fault. The frame is fine; only the glazed unit needs replacing. Likewise, hinges and handles wear after 15–20 years but the frame and glass remain serviceable. Repair is usually right when the rest of the window is sound; replacement makes more sense when multiple components are failing or frames are warped or rotted.

Window Repair FAQs
My window is misted between the panes — does it need replacing?
Only the glazed unit, not the whole window. Misting indicates the perimeter seal of the double-glazed unit has failed and humid air has entered. The frame, hinges, and locks are unaffected. A sealed unit replacement (€140–€240 fitted) restores the window. Replacement units are usually delivered within 1–2 weeks of measurement and fitted in 30–60 minutes per window.
How long do uPVC window components last?
Frames: 25–30 years typically, longer with care. Glazed units: 15–25 years before seal failure. Handles: 15–20 years before mechanism wear. Hinges: 15–20 years. Weather rubbers: 15–25 years. The pattern is that hinges, handles, and seals wear faster than the frame and glass — and they're cheap to replace. A 20-year-old window with sound frame and glass is usually worth maintaining, not replacing.
Can I repair a sash window or do I need to replace it?
Almost always repairable. Traditional sash windows are designed to be maintained: cord replacement (the most common failure) takes 1–2 hours per window. Rotting timber is repaired with epoxy or splicing. Worn pulleys are replaced. A full sash window restoration takes 1–2 days per window and costs €350–€800 — far less than replacement which is €1,200–€2,500 each. Sash repair preserves character and is usually preferred in period homes.
Is window repair worth it on old aluminium windows?
Sometimes. 1980s-90s aluminium windows have known issues: cold-bridging frames, single-glazing, perished gaskets. If the issue is one or two failed units in otherwise sound frames, repair is fine for another 5–10 years. If multiple frames are tired and you'd benefit from improved thermals, replacement to modern thermally-broken aluminium is usually better long-term value.
How fast can a repair be done?
Diagnostic and quote: same day or next day. Parts ordering: typical lead times are 5–10 days for sealed units, 3–7 days for hinges/handles/mechanisms (most are van-stocked or quickly available). Total: most repairs are completed within 2 weeks of first call. Emergencies (smashed glass) can usually be made safe same-day with a temporary board, with permanent glass following within a week.
