Expert Window Repairs in Leeds: Keeping Your Home Secure and Efficient
At Crown Windows Leeds, we understand that even the highest quality windows and doors can suffer from wear and tear, accidental damage, or component failure over time. As your trusted local, independent window company, we offer window repairs in Leeds and the surrounding areas to restore the security, efficiency, and appearance of your home's glazing and entry points.
We pride ourselves on offering honest advice and competitive pricing, ensuring you get a quality repair without the pressure of a hard sell.
Misted Double Glazing Replacement: The Clear Solution
One of the most common issues we encounter is misted or 'blown' double glazing. This occurs when the seal around your double-glazed unit fails, allowing moisture to penetrate the space between the two panes of glass. This results in condensation, making your windows look unsightly and significantly reducing their thermal efficiency.
Why We Recommend Window Replacement Over Demisting
You may have seen services offering to 'demist' your windows. While this can temporarily remove the moisture, it is not a permanent fix. The underlying cause, the failed seal, remains compromised. The misting will inevitably return, often costing you more in the long run.
At Crown Windows Leeds, we believe in providing a long-term, value-for-money solution. We specialise in replacing just the glass unit (the insulated glass unit or IGU) within your existing UPVC, aluminium, or timber frame.
| Issue | Temporary Fix (Demisting) | Permanent Solution (Replacement IGU) |
| Cause | Failed seal remains compromised. | New, factory-sealed unit installed. |
| Result | Moisture returns over time. | Clear, mist-free view guaranteed. |
| Efficiency | Thermal efficiency remains poor. | Full thermal efficiency restored. |
| Cost | Initial saving, but repeated costs likely. | One-time, cost-effective, long-term fix. |
By replacing the misted unit with a brand new, high-performance IGU, we restore your window's clarity and its original energy efficiency, helping to keep your home warmer and your energy bills lower.
Lock and Mechanism Replacement: Restoring Your Security
The security of your home relies heavily on the condition of your window and door locking mechanisms. Over time, these components can become stiff, faulty, or fail completely, leaving your home vulnerable.
We offer expert repair and replacement services for all types of window and door hardware, including:
Multi-Point Door Locks
Modern UPVC and composite doors use complex multi-point locking systems. If your key is turning but the door isn't locking, or if the handle is stiff or spinning freely, you likely need a lock or gearbox replacement. We can source and fit high-quality replacement mechanisms for virtually all major brands, ensuring your door is as secure as the day it was installed.
Window Mechanisms and Hinges
Common window problems include:
- Broken or stiff handles: We can replace handles and the internal espagnolette mechanism that controls the locking points.
- Dropped or misaligned windows: This is often caused by worn or broken hinges. We fit new, heavy-duty friction hinges to ensure your window closes correctly, seals tightly, and operates smoothly.
- Faulty tilt-and-turn mechanisms: We can repair or replace the complex gearing in these specialised windows.
High-Security Upgrades
If you are concerned about security, we can also upgrade your existing locks to meet modern security standards, such as fitting anti-snap, anti-bump, and anti-drill Euro cylinders to your doors for enhanced protection against forced entry.
