Great communication. Paul was very thorough and dealt with our sticking patio doors. Although he came a little later than arranged we were kept fully informed and were able to track his journey. Very friendly. Pleased with the price of the work.

Third time using this company and as always, brilliant job. This time for replacement sealed units. Always my first call for glazing work.
A broken or wobbly door handle is one of the most common UPVC problems we see across Winchester — and one of the easiest to fix. The handle itself is a separate component from the multi-point locking mechanism behind it, and most of the time only the handle needs replacing, not the lock. That makes it a quick job: under an hour, usually under £80 fitted for modern UPVC.
For heritage doors — Georgian and Victorian timber front doors common in cathedral-area, St Cross and Hyde — we source matched brass and bronze fittings sympathetic to the property's period and architectural style. Restoration Glazing replaces UPVC, composite and timber door handles across every Winchester postcode.
We typically attend Winchester within 24-48 hours of your quote from our Chandler's Ford depot. Same-day availability for urgent cases — handles that have come off completely, doors that won't open or close.
Areas We Cover in Winchester

Common Door Handle Issues We See in Winchester Properties
- •Spring failure in 10+ year UPVC handles across Stanmore, Badger Farm and Highcliffe — the handle drops down rather than springing back; internal spring has failed and the handle needs replacing
- •Heritage door knobs in cathedral-area, St Cross and Hyde period properties — original brass and bronze fittings worn or detached after decades of use, requiring careful matching
- •Loose handles from worn fixings — fixing screws stripped from the door from heavy use, common in busy family homes and rental properties
- •Composite door pull handles in newer estates — decorative handles that have come away from the door face, often a screw or adhesive issue
- •Snapped levers from forced operation — handles broken when someone has tried to operate a stuck or misaligned door
Frequently Asked Questions — Door Handle Repair Winchester
How much does UPVC door handle replacement cost in Winchester?
Standard UPVC door handle replacement is £45-£80 fitted. Heritage door fittings (matched brass, bronze, period-correct designs) for Winchester period properties are quoted on inspection.
Can you match heritage door knobs for my Winchester listed property?
Yes — we source matched brass and bronze handles, knobs and knockers for Georgian and Victorian timber front doors. We can liaise with conservation officers if needed.
My handle has come off completely — is this an emergency?
It can be — if the door won't lock or won't open, yes. Call 023 8001 2328 and we'll prioritise the visit.
Can you replace just the handle, or do I need a new lock too?
Usually just the handle. The lock mechanism is a separate component inside the door. We diagnose on the visit — if the lock itself is also faulty, we'll quote for both.
