Double Glazing Repairs Rainham
If you've got a misted window, broken handle, smashed glass, faulty lock or a window that just won't open properly, I'm Tim from TS Glazing and I provide professional double glazing repairs in Rainham and the surrounding Medway area.
My first thought isn't automatically “you need a new window”. If there's a practical way to repair what you've already got, that's the option I'll discuss with you first.
Your Local Double Glazing Repair Service in Rainham
We're a small family-run glazing business based locally in Medway. Sam looks after the office and customer enquiries, while I'm the one you'll usually see when it comes to surveys, repairs and installations.
I've worked in glazing for more than 25 years, and one thing I've learnt is that replacing a complete window isn't always necessary.
If the frame is still in good condition, problems with the glass, handles, hinges, locks and internal mechanisms can often be repaired separately. That can be a much more sensible option than replacing a perfectly serviceable window.
Our Medway double glazing repair service covers the wider area, while this page is specifically for homeowners looking for double glazing repairs in Rainham and nearby areas.

What Double Glazing Problems Can We Repair?
There are lots of different reasons why double glazing can stop working properly. Some are obvious, such as smashed glass or a snapped handle, while others gradually get worse over time.
When you contact us about a repair in Rainham, the aim is to work out what's actually causing the fault before deciding what needs replacing.
Smashed & Cracked Glass
Damaged double-glazed glass units can often be replaced without removing the complete window frame.
Misted Double Glazing
Condensation trapped between the panes is usually a sign that the sealed glass unit has failed and may need replacing.
Broken Window Handles
Loose, snapped or jammed handles can often be replaced without needing to change the complete window.
Window Locks
We investigate faulty locking mechanisms and windows that no longer close or lock securely.
Window Hinges
Worn hinges can cause windows to drop, catch against the frame or leave gaps that allow draughts through.
Draughty Windows
Worn seals, poor adjustment or gaps around the window frame can all contribute to unwanted draughts.
Broken Double Glazing Doesn't Always Mean a New Window
These photographs are from a recent TS Glazing job elsewhere in our Medway working area and show exactly why it's worth having a damaged window assessed before replacing the complete unit.
The glass had been badly smashed, but the window frame itself didn't automatically need to be removed. The damaged glazing could be dealt with separately and new glass fitted into the existing window.
It's the same approach I take when attending double glazing repairs in Rainham. I'll look at the frame, glass, seals and hardware and work out which part has actually failed.
If the existing frame is still doing its job, replacing only the failed component can avoid unnecessary work and expense.
Have a Faulty Window in Rainham?
Send us an enquiry and tell us what's happening. We'll help work out whether the window can be repaired and provide a clear quotation for the work required.
Window Handle Repairs in Rainham
A faulty handle might seem like a small problem, but once you can no longer properly open, close or lock the window, it quickly becomes frustrating.
More importantly, the handle isn't always the only thing involved. If a window is becoming difficult to operate, I also want to know whether the locking mechanism or alignment is contributing to the problem.
The before-and-after photographs here show another recent repair carried out by TS Glazing. The broken handle was replaced and the window returned to proper use without unnecessarily replacing the entire window.
If you've got a similar problem in Rainham, contact us before assuming you need a completely new unit.

A window that won't open is another problem we regularly get asked about. Sometimes the window gradually becomes stiffer before eventually getting stuck; other times the fault seems to happen suddenly.
There isn't one component I can point to without seeing the window. The cause could be the handle, internal locking mechanism, hinges, alignment or a combination of problems.
Trying to force a jammed window can make matters worse, so it's better to have the fault checked and repair the part that's actually causing the problem.
- Window handle turns but nothing happens
- Window won't unlock
- Window is stuck closed
- Window catches when closing
- Frame appears to have dropped
- Window no longer seals properly
Does My Double Glazing Really Need Replacing?
Not necessarily. That's one of the reasons we offer a dedicated repair service rather than only supplying new windows.
If you've got one failed sealed unit or a broken mechanism in an otherwise sound window, replacing the entire frame may be unnecessary.
On the other hand, if the frames themselves are badly deteriorated or you're dealing with repeated problems across older windows, replacement may make more sense in the long term.
If that's the case, we can also help with replacement double glazing . I'll explain what I find and let you make an informed decision rather than pushing you towards one option.

- Glass is cracked or smashed
- A handle has broken
- The window won't lock
- The window has become difficult to open

Double Glazing Repairs Rainham FAQs
Do you provide double glazing repairs throughout Rainham?
Yes. Rainham is within our regular Medway working area and we provide window and door repairs throughout Rainham and surrounding neighbourhoods.
Can you repair a window without replacing the whole frame?
Often, yes. If the existing frame is still in suitable condition, failed glass units, handles, hinges, locks and other components can often be replaced independently.
Can you replace misted double glazing in Rainham?
Yes. Condensation between the panes usually indicates that the sealed glass unit has failed. In many cases the glass unit can be replaced while the existing window frame stays in place.
Can you repair a window that won't open?
Yes, depending on the fault. Problems can be caused by the handle, locking mechanism, hinges or window alignment, so the first step is identifying what's preventing the window from operating correctly.
Do you repair broken window handles?
Yes. Broken, loose and jammed handles are among the common double glazing repairs we carry out, along with associated lock and mechanism problems.
Can you replace smashed double-glazed glass?
Yes. Where the surrounding window is still suitable, a damaged double-glazed sealed unit can often be replaced without installing a completely new window.
