Window Frame and Sash Repair in Dubai
When a sash drops, a corner joint opens or a frame works loose from the wall, the window stops sealing and locking. We realign sashes, reseal corner joints and re-fix loose frames on aluminium and uPVC windows, so they close square again.

Frame Moves in the Wall

Why Window Frames Move in Dubai
Aluminium expands and contracts as surface temperatures swing between night and a hot afternoon sun. Over years, corner joints loosen and sealant cracks. A sash with loose corners sags, rubs the frame and stops meeting its lock.
We tighten or replace corner cleats, reseal joints with flexible sealant and set the sash level on new rollers. The window then slides, seals and locks the way it was designed to.
If the problem is the track or rollers alone, see sliding window track and roller repair. For cracked glass, see glass pane replacement.
Corroded Frames
Badly corroded or bent frames are better replaced. We will tell you honestly if repair is not worth it.
Keep Drainage Clear
Blocked drainage slots let water sit in the frame. Clear them when you clean the tracks.
Square Again
Window Frames and Sashes Realigned and Resealed
A sagging sash or loose frame stops a window sealing and locking.
We tighten corners, reseal joints, re-fix frames and set sashes level so windows close square.
- Corner joints tightened
- Frames re-fixed
- Sashes set level
- Joints resealed
Frame Types
Aluminium vs uPVC Window Frames
Most Dubai towers
Aluminium Frames
Strong, slim frames used in most Dubai apartments. They resist heat but corners can open and rollers wear. Thermal-break profiles keep heat out better.
- Slim sightlines
- Corner cleats
- Brush seals
Many villas
uPVC Frames
Insulating frames common in villas and newer homes. They seal well with rubber gaskets. Friction stays and multi-point locks need occasional adjustment.
- Good insulation
- Rubber gaskets
- Multi-point locks
Window Frame and Sash Repair: Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does Window Frame and Sash Repair Cost in Dubai?
Frame and sash repairs start from AED 150 per visit. Rollers, stays and sealant are priced by the part. Prices vary and can change depending on your exact requirements, the materials and access to the property, so the final price is confirmed after we see photos or visit.
How Long Does a Window Repair Take?
Most window repairs, such as new rollers, locks or seals, take one to two hours per window. Glass replacement can take longer if the pane has to be cut to size and fitted on a second visit.
How Do I Know If My Window Needs Repair?
Windows that stick, rattle, will not lock, let in dust, hot air or water, or show condensation between double-glazed panes need repair. Rising AC bills can also point to failing seals.
Should I Repair or Replace My Windows?
Most aluminium and uPVC windows can be repaired with new rollers, locks, seals or glass. Replacement is only worth it when frames are corroded, bent or badly warped.
Can You Repair Aluminium Sliding Windows?
Yes. Aluminium sliding windows are the most common type in Dubai. We replace rollers, locks, handles, brush seals and glass, and realign sashes that have dropped.
