Drafty, Whistling Or Noisy Windows
The main cause of drafty windows is broken hinges. When the hinges fail (normally off wear & tear) the opener no longer sits tight against the frame when closed.
This will cause drafts and noise. Window hinges are a common repair we carry out and our repairmen carry a full range of sizes and most hinge repairs can be carried out on the same day.

Floppy Door Handles
Door handles may become floppy over time, this can be due to plastic washers in the handle snapping. Another reason is because the springs inside the locking mechanism have failed or some other part in the gearing is about to fail…. floppy door handles are normally a sure sign that a more costly repair is imminent (the locking mechanism).
