Straight answers on repairs, misted glass, locks, prices and the areas we cover — from Newquay and Truro to Penzance and the Tamar.
Most window repairs in Cornwall with us fall into two bands:
A consultation and home visit is free in Cornwall. Blown or misted glass is priced after we measure the unit, because size, shape and whether it is a conservatory or standard casement change the glass cost. You get the figure before work starts — no hidden extras.

You can book Cornwall Door and Window Repair for window maintenance and repairs anywhere in the county — Land’s End to the Tamar.
We regularly work in Newquay, Truro, Falmouth, St Austell, Bodmin, Penzance, Redruth, Camborne, Helston, Liskeard, Launceston, Bude, Wadebridge, St Columb, Fraddon and the villages in between, including holiday homes.
Typical maintenance and repair work includes misted unit replacement, handles and locks, hinges, patio rollers, gaskets and draught-proofing. Book a visit:
Usually no. “Blown” or misted double glazing means the seal has failed and moisture has got between the panes. Most UK home insurance policies treat that as wear and maintenance, not an insured event.
You are more likely to have cover if a pane was accidentally broken(stone, storm impact, attempted break-in), subject to your excess and the wording in your buildings policy. Always check with your insurer before you claim.
We can still replace the blown unit in the existing frame and give you a clear receipt if a landlord, agent or insurer asks for one. We do not promise that any claim will be accepted.
Cornwall Door and Window Repair handles on-site work on UPVC and similar frames across the county, including:
Yes. Condensation between the panes means the sealed unit has failed. In most frames we take out the failed unit only, supply a new double glazed pane cut to size, and fit it back into your existing UPVC, aluminium or timber frame. That restores a clear view, cuts draughts and improves insulation for a fraction of a full window replacement.
Yes. This is usually a dropped door, a worn multipoint lock, a failed gearbox, or a barrel that has gone. We realign the door on the hinges where we can, then replace the lock, handle, keep plates or barrel so the door hooks and locks properly again. Security is the priority on every lock job.
Yes. Patio doors that scrape or jump off the track usually need new rollers and an adjustment. French doors that catch or let in weather often need realignment plus new seals. We also repair snapped bifold hinges and tired bifold mechanisms so the doors fold and lock as they should.
Yes. Worn gaskets and seals are a common cause of draughts and rain ingress on Cornish properties. We replace perished seals and adjust the closing so the frame compresses evenly. Skylight leaks are often a failed gasket rather than a new roof light.
Consultation and a home visit to diagnose the problem are free in Newquay and the surrounding area. Further afield we confirm any visit arrangement when you book. Repair prices are agreed before work starts, with no hidden extras.
