Repairs & servicing in Holland Park

Around Holland Park you will mostly find Victorian stucco villas, large terraced houses and converted flats. On Victorian homes with older uPVC sashes or casements, replacing worn hinges and seals can often cure draughts without disturbing the frames or decoration.

In flats, check whether windows and doors are your responsibility or the freeholder's under the lease before booking repairs, especially for communal entrances. For period properties, repairing rather than replacing existing windows can avoid planning complications, particularly where original features are expected to be retained.

The Holland Park Conservation Area covers much of the neighbourhood, and the Royal Borough expects replacements on street-facing elevations to match the originals closely. At the back of a house there is often more freedom, which is where slim aluminium sliding or bifold doors onto the garden tend to work well. Holland Park Avenue itself carries heavy traffic, so we often suggest acoustic glazing for front rooms.

We repair windows and doors of most types, including replacing misted glass units, faulty locks, handles, hinges and worn seals. Repairs suit homeowners, landlords and businesses whose frames are basically sound but not working properly, and can be a sensible alternative to full replacement.
