A stuck Velux window is often caused by a failed handle mechanism or seized hinges. We can usually release the window and replace the faulty parts onsite without needing a new window frame.

Yes, we specialize in re-fitting and repairing sashes that have become detached or misaligned. This is a common mechanical issue that we can safely resolve from the inside of your property.

We recommend a professional Velux service every 2-3 years to lubricate hinges, check seals, and clear debris from flashing, which prevents expensive breakages and leaks.
