Repairs & maintenance

Fix it first. Replace only if you need to.

Not every problem needs a new window or door. Many faults – misted glass, a dropped door, a stiff lock, a draught – can be put right quickly and for a fraction of the cost of replacement. Defined Living offers a repair and maintenance service for aluminium, uPVC and timber windows and doors across Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire.

Send us your details and a photo or short video of the problem. We'll assess it, tell you honestly whether it's worth repairing, and arrange a visit at a time that suits you.

What we repair

Common problems, properly fixed

Misted & failed units

Condensation between the panes means the sealed unit has failed. We replace the glass unit, not the whole window.

Hinges, handles & locks

Dropped sashes, stiff handles, snapped keys and failed multi-point locks – repaired or replaced with matching hardware.

Seals & draughts

Perished gaskets and weather seals let in draughts and water. Replaced to restore a tight, quiet seal.

Glass replacement

Cracked, broken or scratched glazing replaced, including toughened, laminated and obscure glass.

Sliding & bi-fold doors

Worn rollers, misaligned tracks and doors that catch or won’t lock – realigned and running smoothly again.

Roller shutters & commercial glazing

Shopfronts, shutters, curtain walling and atrium glazing repaired and maintained with minimal disruption.

Aluminium windows and doors on a family home
