Repairs & servicing in Kensal Rise

Homes in Kensal Rise are mostly Edwardian bay-fronted terraces 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. Bay windows on 1930s houses often suffer from misted units and dropped sashes, which can usually be fixed with replacement glass and hinge adjustment.

Some streets fall within conservation areas, so we check with Brent Council before quoting on front windows. The Overground line runs close to some homes, and acoustic glass can help. Our factory is about 9.3 miles away. For conversions, we also confirm freeholder consent.

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.
