Draughty Window Repairs
Fix draughty windows fast — stay warm, save energy, and cut down on mould
If your windows feel cold, let in a breeze, or make the curtains flutter, you probably don't need new windows — just the right repair. At ACP Windows we find the problem and fix the cause of draughts, helping you stay warm, save money and make your windows last longer.
We are a repair-first company — our job is to extend the life of your existing windows, not sell you replacements you don't need.
Common causes of draughty windows
Draughts can develop for several reasons, most of which are completely repairable. Our engineers find and fix the cause of the draught — making your home warmer and quieter, and taking the strain off your energy bills.
Types of windows we repair
We fix draughts on a wide range of window types, including:
- uPVC casement windows (most common)
- Aluminium casement windows
- Sliding sash windows
- Tilt & turn windows — one of our specialist areas; many companies avoid these, but we repair them every day across the South
- Conservatory windows and doors
- uPVC and aluminium doors, French doors and patio doors (often a major source of cold air — and very repairable)
We do not work on timber casement windows.
