Espag Window Handle Replacement Essex
Window handles are common place on double glazed windows and get used a lot within the home to operate your windows. Eventually they get worn and will need replacing.
Luckily, we carry a variety of window handles on us and can normally replace your window handles within one visit. There are mainly 2 types of window handles. They are known as an espag window handle or a cockspur window handle. An espag window handle has a long spindle that operates a locking mechanism inside the double glazed window. A cockspur handle simply hooks over the window frame to close the window. Both are easily replaced. Some cockspur handles can be tricky to replace as the screws sits close to the glass and if not careful can break the glass when being fitted. However, we are experienced in window handle replacement and you do not need to worry.
Sometimes, it is the locking mechanism inside of the window that breaks and people think that the handle is the problem. However, this may not be the case but as experienced repairers, we can identify this problem when we visit your property.
