Window Repairs

Sticking sashes and worn hardware

We repair aluminium, uPVC, timber and steel-framed windows, including their operating hardware. Timber window and frame repairs can address sticking sashes, loose stays, compatible hardware and local sill damage. Tell us whether the damage affects the sill, frame joints or hardware fixing points. The repair method depends on the frame material and extent of damage. Glass replacement and installation of a complete window are assessed as separate scopes.

Local frame and sill repairs

A rotten sill needs its extent and moisture source checked before a local repair is recommended. We consider sound surrounding timber and window operation; extensive decay or unsuitable hardware can change the replacement decision.

An old timber window that swells after rain needs its weather pattern recorded. A loose stay needs the fitting and fixing material checked. Describe both faults without climbing outside or forcing the sash to prepare an enquiry.

Recurring timber swelling

Moisture entry, deteriorated coatings and limited clearance can contribute to recurring window swelling. The water source and timber condition matter as much as alignment. Repeated sanding or painting alone may leave the underlying moisture problem unresolved.

Timber and glazing scopes

Sticking hardware or local timber defects need window or carpentry assessment. Broken, loose or unsuitable glass requires glazing assessment, and major frame changes have a separate installation scope. We identify the appropriate personnel from the actual fault.

What Affects the Quote?

Frame condition, repair size, compatible hardware, access and finishing requirements affect the repair price.

Window Repairs: Common Questions

Service details

Can a damaged window frame be repaired instead of replaced?

We assess the damaged section and surrounding timber before recommending a local repair or replacement. The amount of sound material remaining and the way the window operates matter. We explain what work is needed before you approve the written quote.

Do you repair window locks, handles and hinges?

We check the existing fittings and confirm compatible replacements or adjustments. The window type and hardware condition determine the approach. Let us know whether the window is difficult to secure, the handle is loose or a hinge is preventing normal movement.

What determines the price, and do I need to send photos?

Window size, frame condition, hardware, access and the number of repairs affect the quote. We inspect the windows on site. Photos are optional; a short description and your suburb are enough to start the conversation.

Why does a timber window keep swelling?

Moisture entry and deteriorated coatings can change timber dimensions, while tight clearance can make the effect noticeable. We assess the frame and moisture history before selecting repairs; another adjustment alone may not resolve a recurring cause.

Does my window need carpentry or glazing work?

We assess the window and identify the timber, hardware and glazing work needed. Our team explains the repair scope and any separate glass replacement before you approve the quote.

What information helps with a rental or strata window repair?

List the affected windows, rooms and floor level, and describe whether each problem involves opening, closing, hardware, timber or water entry. Tell us who authorises the work and any tenant or building access arrangements. We check access and repair options on site before confirming the work and written quote; existing photos are optional.

Site assessment and enquiry details

Cracked glass and upper-level external work should not be handled without suitable glazing and access controls; frame rot may indicate a wider moisture issue.

Describe how the window operates and what has changed. We check the frame, moving parts and hardware on site and confirm the repair scope and quote.

If already available, the following details help us discuss the job. They are not required before contacting Ellis.

  • Window style, material and approximate age
  • Photos of the full window, hardware and damaged area
  • How operation has changed and whether water entry is present
