Repairs & servicing in Paddington

The housing in Paddington is largely stucco terraces, converted period flats, council blocks and modern apartments. 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. Doors on modern homes that have dropped or become hard to lock usually need hinge and keep adjustment, which is quicker and less disruptive than replacing the door.

Noise is a constant factor: the Westway, Praed Street, Edgware Road and the railway approach all carry traffic late into the night, so acoustic glazing is worth considering. Many streets are in Westminster conservation areas, and listed buildings need consent, so we check the rules first. Parking needs planning too. We are about 8.6 miles away.

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.

• Replaces misted or broken glass units
• Fixes sticking, dropped or draughty doors
• Extends the life of sound frames
