A high share of Thornton Heath's housing is let, and that shapes the window and door work here towards security and quick between-tenancy turnarounds. We fit and upgrade locks, latches and handles, including the insurance-rated window and door locks many tenancies and policies require, rehang external doors that drag or no longer lock, and make sure ground-floor windows and entrances are genuinely hard to force. For landlords and agents that means a lock changed, a dropped casement adjusted, a cracked pane re-glazed or a draught sealed, fast, so a flat is ready for the next tenant. Failed multi-point mechanisms and worn cylinders are replaced so a door lifts and locks as it should.
We cover CR7 from the High Street and Thornton Heath Pond across to Norbury and Broad Green, working for landlords, agents and homeowners alike. The long Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the Pond and Brigstock Road, many split into flats, keep their original timber sashes, which we free when they stick, re-cord, re-bead and draught-proof so they run and seal properly again, keeping the older stock warm and workable. Out towards Grangewood Park the Edwardian terraces and interwar semis get the same steady, dependable upkeep.
Where a repair will do, we repair: an eased sash, a new keep or a fresh seal is quicker and cheaper than a replacement, and we will say so plainly. When a window or door is beyond saving we fit new cleanly and make it secure and weathertight. One team for every trade, a clear price up front, and the place left clean when the job is done.

Why Thornton Heath homes and landlords rely on us for window and door work
With so many of the terraces around the Pond and Whitehorse Road split into flats and run as rentals, security is usually the first thing landlords ask about. Sturdier multi-point door mechanisms, insurance-rated window locks and restrictors where they are wanted, fitted quickly, are what keep a let flat safe and compliant, alongside sound, well-fitting entrance doors that lock firmly every time. It is the reactive, between-tenancy work the CR7 agents call us for most.
The conversions across CR7 bring communal entrance doors and flat entrance doors that see heavy use. We overhaul worn closers and shared-door locks so communal entrances shut and secure properly, and rehang flat doors that have dropped so they latch cleanly, the kind of repair that keeps a shared house safe and tidy between tenancies.
On the original terraces along Parchmore Road and Bensham Lane, the sash windows are the period end of the work: painted-shut sashes freed, worn cords and beads renewed, and the boxes draught-proofed, so the older housing stays warm and workable whether it is owner-occupied or let to a new tenant.

Windows & Doors in Thornton Heath — FAQs
Do you cover all of Thornton Heath?
Yes — we cover Thornton Heath and the surrounding CR7 streets, from the Pond and the High Street across towards Norbury and Broad Green. If you are unsure whether you fall inside our area, just ask.
Do you help Thornton Heath landlords with rented properties?
Yes. Much of the CR7 housing is let, and we regularly handle reactive repairs and between-tenancy maintenance for landlords and agents — keeping flats and shared houses safe, tidy and ready for the next tenant.
Do you work on the converted flats in Thornton Heath?
Yes. A lot of the Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the High Street and the Pond have been split into flats, and we are used to the shared soil stacks, communal plumbing and older pipework that come with them.
Can you repair a window or door rather than replace it?
Often, yes. Sticking doors, failed handles, worn hinges and draughty seals can usually be repaired or adjusted, which is quicker and cheaper than a full replacement.
Can you improve the security of my doors and windows?
Yes. We fit and upgrade locks, handles and latches, and can advise on straightforward changes that make external doors and windows more secure.
Do you fix draughts and rattling windows?
We do — draught-proofing, re-sealing and adjusting the fit of windows and doors improves comfort and can help with heating costs.
Can you repair traditional timber sash windows?
Yes. We ease sashes that are painted or stuck shut, replace broken cords, adjust the fit and draught-proof them, so original windows work smoothly again without needing to be replaced.
Do you replace misted or broken glass?
We do. We replace cracked, broken and misted glazing units and renew glazing beads and seals, whether it is a single pane or several.
Will new or repaired windows and doors improve security?
Yes. We fit and upgrade locks, handles, latches and multi-point mechanisms and make sure doors and windows close and lock firmly, which makes them much harder to force.
