Tilt Windows repaired by your local upvc specialist
Tilt Windows are not a typical or common window fitted in a domestic home. With their additional and complex features, making them much more technical to fix and repair.
Furthermore, if you have a jammed shut window , please called David now. Tilt windows can be very fragile and if you force the handle you are likely to cause further damage to the drive gear or locking points.
What is a Tilt & Turn Window?
Its first operation will be to tilt inwards. The second operation will be for the window to turn or swing open like a door.
Whereas a Turn & Tilt window’s first operation will be to open like a door. The second operation would be to lean inwards at the top.
Unlike a standard fanlight window having only 1 operational feature of opening from the bottom and pushing out.
How a majority of Tilt n Turn Windows operate?
- If the handle is in the 6’o clock position the window is fully locked
- When the handle is moved to the 3’o clock or 9’o clock position, the top of the window leans inwards.
- If the handle is moved to the 12’o clock position, the window will swing open like a door.

Can all inward opening windows be fixed?
Turn n’ Tilt windows are a lot older therefore many parts are discontinued and no longer available however, if the existing parts of the window are not broken then a repair can be carried out, if no parts are required.
Depending on the age of the window, most parts are no longer available so windows which require parts are less likely to be repaired.
Inward opening windows are not the typical or most common windows fitted in domestic homes therefore without the technical knowledge repairing them without causing further damage is often very difficult. Tilt & Turn windows seem to be most commonly fitted to homes Abbey Wood and Dartford.
I have seen so many repairable windows broken beyond repair due to an inexperienced tradesman attempting to fix them.
