Double Glazing Repairs Gillingham
Got a smashed window, misted glass, broken handle or a window that simply won't open or close properly? I'm Tim from TS Glazing and I provide professional double glazing repairs in Gillingham and the surrounding Medway area.
Wherever possible, I'll repair the problem rather than tell you that you need a completely new window.
Local Double Glazing Repairs in Gillingham
Hi, I'm Tim, the installer here at TS Glazing. Together with my wife Sam, who looks after the office and our customers, we run our family glazing business from right here in the Gillingham area.
Over the years I've repaired just about every type of window problem you can imagine. One of the biggest misconceptions I come across is that a faulty window automatically means the whole thing needs replacing. Very often it doesn't.
A broken handle, failed locking mechanism, worn hinge or damaged sealed glass unit can often be replaced independently, keeping the existing frame in place and saving the homeowner the cost and disruption of a complete replacement.
Our main double glazing repairs in Medway service covers Gillingham and the wider local area, but this page is specifically for homeowners looking for a local glazing repair service in Gillingham.

Double Glazing Repair Services in Gillingham
Not every glazing fault is the same, which is why I'll always look at what's actually causing the problem before recommending the best solution. Some of the most common repairs I carry out around Gillingham include:
Broken & Smashed Glass
Cracked or smashed double glazing doesn't necessarily mean replacing the entire window. In many cases I can replace the damaged sealed glass unit while retaining the existing frame.
Misted Double Glazing
Moisture or condensation trapped between the panes normally indicates a failed sealed unit. The affected glass can often be replaced without changing the whole window.
Window Handle Repairs
Loose, broken or jammed handles are a common repair. I'll check the handle and locking system to identify what has actually failed before replacing parts.
Window Locks & Mechanisms
If your window won't lock, feels jammed or the handle moves without operating the window properly, the internal mechanism may need repairing or replacing.
Hinges & Stiff Windows
Windows that are difficult to open, catch against the frame or won't close correctly can often be repaired by adjusting or replacing worn components.
Draughts & Sealing
Cold air around a window can be caused by worn seals, alignment problems or poor sealing around the frame. We can investigate the cause rather than simply covering the problem.
Smashed Window Glass Replacement in Gillingham
This recent job is a good example of why it's worth getting damaged double glazing properly assessed before assuming you need a completely new window.
The glass had been badly smashed, but the surrounding window frame was still serviceable. Rather than unnecessarily replacing everything, the damaged glazing could be dealt with while keeping the existing frame.
With broken glass I always check the surrounding frame, glazing system and seals as part of the job. There's little point fitting new glass if another problem around the window is going to cause trouble later.
Once completed, the window was secure again and the new glass gave the property a clean finish without the additional cost of a full window replacement.
Got a Broken Window in Gillingham?
Don't automatically assume you need a complete replacement. Send us an enquiry and we'll arrange to assess the problem and recommend the most sensible repair.
Broken Window Handle Repairs Gillingham
A broken window handle can be frustrating, particularly when it leaves the window stuck open, closed or unable to lock securely.
It's also exactly the sort of fault where you shouldn't be told you automatically need a new window.
On this recent Gillingham repair, we removed the faulty handle, checked the operation of the window and fitted the appropriate replacement. It's a relatively small repair, but it makes a big difference to how the window operates and helps restore security.
We also repair window and door locks, hinges and other glazing hardware as part of our window and door repair service .

Another common call I receive is from homeowners whose windows have become increasingly difficult to use. Sometimes they'll put up with a stiff window for months until eventually it stops opening altogether.
The fault could be a handle, locking mechanism, hinge, alignment issue or another component within the window. That's why I prefer to inspect it rather than guess.
The window shown here was another repair job in Gillingham where the window was no longer opening correctly. Identifying the actual fault means we can concentrate on repairing the part that's causing the problem instead of replacing perfectly usable components.
- Windows that won't open
- Windows stuck in the closed position
- Handles that turn but don't operate the lock
- Windows catching against the frame
- Stiff or damaged hinges
- Windows that won't lock securely
Do I Need a New Window or Can It Be Repaired?
This is probably one of the questions I'm asked most often, and there isn't one answer that applies to every window.
If the frame itself is in good condition, there is often no reason to replace a complete window just because the glass, handle, lock, hinge or sealed unit has failed.
I'll always assess what you've already got first. If a sensible repair can extend the life of the window and save you money, I'll tell you. If the window genuinely has reached the point where replacement makes more sense, I'll explain that too.
We can also provide complete double glazing installations where a replacement really is the better long-term option.
