Is it cheaper to repair my windows or replace them entirely?
Repairing is almost always significantly cheaper! Our core philosophy is a "repair-first" approach. By fixing the specific problem—such as replacing a broken lock, a rusted hinge, or a foggy glass unit—we can save you up to 70% compared to the cost of installing a brand-new window frame.

Are your repair technicians fully vetted and trustworthy?
Absolutely. As a sister company to Rock Home Solutions (RHS), we maintain the highest standards of trust and discretion. Every technician undergoes strict background screening and multi-stage vetting, ensuring that only polite, uniformed professionals enter your home or business.
Do you work with property management companies and landlords?
Yes. We act as the reliable, single point of contact for estate managers and landlords across Gibraltar and the surrounding coast. We provide fast response times, transparent invoicing, detailed condition reports, and guaranteed workmanship for your property portfolios.
There is condensation inside my double-glazed windows. Can you fix this?
Yes! When windows look foggy or constantly dirty on the inside, it means the perimeter seal has "blown." We don't need to rip out your window frames to fix this. We simply remove the failed glass and install a brand-new, factory-sealed double-glazed unit into your existing frame, instantly restoring your clear views.
Do you replace cracked or shattered window glass?
Yes, we provide fast and safe glass replacement for all types of windows. Whether a coastal storm has cracked your residential window or a break-in has shattered your commercial storefront, we replace it with high-quality toughened or laminated safety glass
Will replacing my glass help lower my energy bills?
Definitely. Failed double glazing lets your expensive air conditioning escape in the summer and allows cold drafts in during the winter. By replacing blown units or upgrading to modern Low-E (low-emissivity) glass, we restore your home’s thermal barrier and lower your energy costs.
My aluminium windows are incredibly stiff and difficult to open. Why?
In Gibraltar, this is almost always caused by heavy Mediterranean sea salt and coastal sand accumulating in the friction stays (hinges), leading to severe corrosion. We solve this permanently by replacing your rusted hinges with marine-grade, rust-resistant stainless steel components.
The handle on my UPVC window just spins, and I can’t open it. Do I need a new window?
No, you do not need a new window. This usually means the internal espagnolette lock or gearbox has snapped. Our technicians can safely bypass the broken mechanism to get the window open, and then replace the internal lock on the spot, restoring full security.
My PVC window is catching on the bottom frame and feels heavy. Can it be fixed?
Yes, this is known as a "dropped sash," often caused by the intense Gibraltar heat warping the UPVC over time. We can easily fix this by "toeing and heeling" (realigning the glass weight) and adjusting the hinges so the window glides perfectly again.
Can you stop the howling drafts and whistling noises during the Levanter wind?
Yes. UV rays and coastal winds dry out the rubber weather seals around your windows, causing them to shrink and let in drafts. We can strip out these degraded seals and push in premium, long-lasting rubber gaskets to perfectly insulate your property against the wind and street noise.
Do you repair traditional wooden sash windows in Gibraltar’s historic Upper Town?
Yes. We specialize in heritage-compliant timber window restoration. We can unjam swollen frames, replace snapped cotton sash cords, service the pulleys, and upgrade the draft-proofing without altering the classic, historic appearance of your property.
The bottom sill of my wooden window is rotten. Can you repair it?
We certainly can. Instead of ripping out the entire frame, our skilled joiners use a technique called "timber splicing." We cut away the decayed wood, treat the area, and seamlessly splice in fresh, treated timber. Once painted, it looks as good as new and saves you a fortune.
