We pride ourselves on our expertise, particularly in the realm of uPVC repairs, and extend our services to include essential locksmith and boarding up provisions.

Understanding Double Glazed Window Repairs
A significant portion of our work in Gravesend involves the repair of double glazed windows. These windows, encompassing uPVC, aluminium, and timber frames, are designed for energy efficiency and sound insulation. However, over time, their components can wear or fail. Our repair services cover the critical moving parts of these windows and doors, including:
- Handles: Both window and door handles, whether they are stiff, loose, or broken.
- Locks: We address all types of door and window locking mechanisms, including multi-point locks and euro-cylinders, ensuring your property remains secure.
- Hinges: Also known as friction stays, we repair or replace worn or damaged window hinges that can cause drafts or difficulty in operation.
- Sundries: This covers a range of essential fittings such as letterboxes, door knockers, and door panels, restoring the functionality and appearance of your doors.
A common issue with double glazed units is water ingress between the glass panes. This leads to the glass becoming cloudy or misted, significantly impairing visibility and the insulating properties of the unit. We expertly replace these failed units, offering glass refurbishment for all types of glass, including toughened and laminated safety glass, as well as decorative options like feature lead, Georgian, and stained glass effects. We don't just repair; we enhance.
New Installations and Replacements
While repairs form a core part of our business, Gravesend Door & Window Repair also excels in the supply and installation of new replacement windows and doors. Whether you're looking to upgrade your home's energy efficiency, enhance its security, or simply modernise its appearance, we offer a wide selection of styles and materials to suit every taste and budget.
Comprehensive Window Installation Services
Our installation expertise covers a broad spectrum of window styles:
Casement Windows
The most common type of window found in the UK, casement windows typically open outwards. They are a popular choice for their simplicity and effectiveness, providing excellent ventilation and security.
Tilt & Turn Windows
Originating from Europe, tilt and turn windows offer versatile functionality. They open inwards, which can be a consideration for curtain placement, but also feature a tilt function allowing for safe, secure ventilation without fully opening the window.
Bay Windows
Adding character and space to a property, bay windows can be structural or added to existing openings. They often combine multiple casement or tilt & turn windows, creating a distinctive architectural feature.
Vertical Sliding Sash Windows
A nod to traditional Victorian and Edwardian architecture, vertical sliding sash windows are ideal for period properties. They maintain the original charm while incorporating modern performance benefits.
Extensive Door Installation Options
We supply and install a wide array of doors, designed to enhance the security, style, and functionality of your home:
Casement Doors
These are your everyday external doors, available to open either inwards or outwards, providing a secure and accessible entry point to your property.
French Doors
Elegant and timeless, French doors consist of two doors within a single frame, often opening outwards to create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces. They can be combined with windows for a more expansive look.
Patio Doors
Popular since the 1970s, patio or sliding doors offer a space-saving solution that maximises natural light and provides easy access to gardens or patios.
Bifold Doors
For the ultimate in open-plan living, bifold doors fold neatly against the wall, allowing you to fully open up an entire wall of your home, creating a truly expansive and modern feel.
