a handle, latch, hinge, track or screen is visibly worn or damaged. Assess small suitable frame-finish repairs without disturbing glass, glazing beads, seals or structural joints.
Signs: the window does not close, catch or sit evenly as it did before or the window is stiff, loose or no longer moves through its normal range. Causes: loose compatible fixings or adjustment points or normal wear in accessible moving hardware.
The existing finish and any requested paint work need to be identified in the quote. A local patch may remain visible beside aged coatings. Hazardous paint removal is excluded, and an exact colour or texture match cannot be promised from photos.
Movement at a frame joint or distortion of the opening is outside cosmetic repair. Do not cover or force the affected area to improve its appearance. A suitable specialist should assess suspected structural failure before a local finish repair is considered.
The agreed service covers small cosmetic timber/frame finish repairs after condition and access review, without disturbing glass or the glazing system. Exclusions: Frame replacement, structural joints, glass/beading removal, seals, sash restoration, rot remediation (existing separate intent), hazardous coatings.
