Window hinge need fixing

£55

Nasser was really great from start to finish. His initial communication with myself was good and throughout the work he was doing he explained everything to me. He fixed a crack in the door frame and went above and beyond what we had expected him to do. He was professional, friendly and the work was finished to a high standard. We will definitely be using Nasser again.

Top Window Repair related questions

Start by making sure there is no loose glass that could injure family members or pets. If you have a crack in your window and are concerned about wind/rain getting inside, you could place thick tape over the surface to provide a temporary seal.

Common window breakages include cracks, chips, holes, and scratches.

If the tenant caused the window to break through malicious activity or negligence, they’ll need to organise window repairs and pay for them. But if damage has happened due to the property ageing or something else out of the tenant’s control, it’s up to the landlord to pay for the repair.

You don’t need to purchase anything for your window repair unless instructed to by your handyman. They may bring their own equipment and supplies, and will advise you during the service if any parts are needed.

This depends on the size and location of the window. For basic window replacements at ground floor level, this could take as little as 1 hour. 

Window repairs usually cost between £60 - £163 when you book your service through Airtasker. But the total cost for your service will depend on the type of window, type of repair, the location of the window, and how long it’ll take to get the job done.

Handyman Services

What does a window repair service include?

Your window repair person can help with a range of different window types and repair services, including glass window repairs, aluminium window frame repairs, and even car window repairs. They’ll advise you on the best solution (whether repair or replacement) and use their tools to get the job done. Here’s what you can expect from some of the most common window repair services:

Glass window repairs

Your handyman will start by assessing the damage. If the extent of the damage is beyond repair, they’ll recommend a window replacement. But if your window glass only has a small crack, hole, or scratch, they’ll be able to repair it - at least temporarily - to seal your room and prevent the damage from getting worse.  They’ll wear heavy-duty gloves before handling any broken glass. Next, they’ll use clear nail polish to patch up any small holes and scratches, building it up in layers, to discretely repair the glass. If there’s a crack but the window still feels sturdy, your repairer may apply a piece of clear tape over the surface to stop the crack from spreading further. For more advanced repairs, you’ll need to hire a glazier or organise a glass replacement.

Window frame repairs

The most common window frame repairs involve repairing rotten wood frames (since aluminium windows are less prone to damage). Your repairer will start by chipping away most of the rotten wood before covering it with a few layers of liquid epoxy to soak in. Once dry, they’ll mix epoxy filler and use this to fill the gap in your wooden window frame, shaping it to blend in with the rest of the frame. Once this filler is dry, they’ll sand the area smooth. At this point, the repairs are ready for priming and painting.

Window replacement

When your glass windows are beyond repair, they’ll need replacing. Your handyman will start by using the broken window pane. They’ll put on heavy-duty gloves and safety glasses before scraping away at the putty or loosening the seal around the broken window pane so they can loosen and remove the old glass (including any shards). They’ll dispose of the old glass and then smooth out the edges of the frame so remove any remaining sealants. Your window replacement technician will measure the window to determine the size of the new glass, leaving a small 3.2mm gap around the edges to allow for expansion. Most of the time, they’ll get the glass cut to size at a local hardware store or glass company. Depending on the type of window frame and how the glass is sealed in, your handyman will then apply putty to the edges of the window, rolling it in their hands to make a long rope, and then sticking it onto the frame. They’ll gently push the new glass into the frame, allowing it to stick to the putty. Your window replacement professional will then apply more putty around the edges on both sides of the glass before gently removing any excess putty and smoothing it over.

Car window repairs

If your car window has a minor hole or crack, your window repair person may be able to fix it without needing a total replacement. They’ll clean the area to remove debris and use a glass repair kit to seal the broken area with epoxy. The epoxy is applied using a syringe which forces resin into any cracks for a stronger seal.

Remove a shash window + a few handyman tasks

£300

Upper Holloway, Greater London

15th Jan 2025

I’m looking for a carpenter who can also perform various tasks. That person will need to be there on the day we move out to remove a sash window for our sofa to be taken out of the flat through the window. The sash window will then need to be re-attached neatly. There will also be other jobs to be done on the day: -Re-attach a door handle. -Remove all curtains from the curtain rails and possibly reattach the curtain rails more firmly as they are coming a bit loose. The ceiling is quite high and our step ladder is a bit wonky so if you have a step ladder you can bring it would be better. -Fix a few holes & scratched paint on one wall in particular. The person will need to be able to work around the movers so they might have to come in early and stay for a little while.

Small bathroom window starts to leak when it rains and the rain comes inside the bathroom. Either the hinges require replacing & refitting if possible or a new window requires fitting. In the attached picture you can maybe see there is a gap when the window is closed so the hinges seem to have moved out of place, if possible they need replacing, if not a new window needs fitting so that there are no leaks or gaps and there is no rain coming inside the house whenever it rains.

Fix 2 sash window stops to window frame.

£50

Paddington, Greater London, W2

13th Oct 2024

I have bought 2 bronze barrel-style window stops to replace old ones, which now need screwing into a sash window frame. It should be straightforward. You can see from the photos we had to remove old ones because we lost the key so the new holes will go under the circles you see in the photos. It should involve drilling 2 holes and screwing the barrels into the frame so that the stopper can prevent the window from opening past a certain point. I’ve also included a photo of another window to show you what it will look like when complete. Thanks

Ismael was very prompt and managed the job quickly and efficiently. Very friendly.
