Yes — the sealed glass unit swaps out of the existing frame, restoring clarity and insulation for far less than a new window. 'Demisting' services that drill the unit are cheaper still but results are mixed and insulation isn't restored; most pros recommend a new sealed unit.

A full overhaul strips the sashes out, replaces cords/springs and beads, eases and adjusts, adds draught brush seals, and re-hangs. It transforms operation and draughts while keeping original glass and joinery — the standard treatment for period timber windows before anyone talks replacement.

Usually worn friction hinges, tired rollers on sliders, or a dropped sash catching the frame. These are standard parts a repairer replaces in under an hour. Ignoring a dropping casement eventually strains the frame and glass, turning a cheap fix into a big one.

Most window repairs are call-out jobs: hardware fixes (handles, hinges, locks, rollers) sit at the low end, replacing a failed double-glazed sealed unit sits mid-range, and structural frame or sash overhauls cost the most.
