❓ Frequently Asked Questions — Doors & Windows Wollongong

How much does door and window repair cost in Wollongong?

Door and window repair costs in Wollongong vary depending on the type of repair needed. Simple hardware replacements such as window latches or door handles typically start from $80–$150 including labour. Full door hangings, window replacements, and glass replacements are quoted individually based on the door/window size, type, and materials required. Contact us for a free quote on your specific repair or installation.

Can you fix a sticking or swollen door in Wollongong?

Yes — sticking and swollen doors are one of the most common jobs we carry out in Wollongong homes, particularly during summer when timber swells in humidity. We assess whether the door needs planing, hinge adjustment, or frame straightening, and carry out the appropriate fix to restore smooth, gap-free operation. In most cases this is a quick, affordable repair rather than a full replacement.

Do you replace glass in windows and doors in Wollongong?

Yes. We replace glass in all window and door types across Wollongong and the Illawarra — from standard float glass in aluminium windows to toughened safety glass in bathrooms and low-level windows, double-glazed sealed units, shower screens, and sliding door panels. We carry a range of glass stock and can source specialty glass including frosted, patterned, and laminated options.

How do I know if I need safety glass in my windows?

Under Australian Standard AS 1288 and the National Construction Code, toughened safety glass is required in any glass pane within 300mm of a door (sidelights), in fully glazed doors, in windows less than 500mm from floor level, bathroom and shower screens, and any glazing in areas where breakage could cause injury. If you’re replacing glass in these locations, we will always install the correct safety-rated product.

Can you replace sliding door rollers in Wollongong?

Yes — sliding door roller replacement is a very common and cost-effective repair we carry out across Wollongong and the Illawarra. Worn or failed rollers are the primary cause of sliding doors that are hard to open, jump off the track, or drag along the floor. We identify the correct replacement roller for your door brand and model, and in most cases the repair is completed on the same visit.

What types of window hardware do you replace?

We replace all common window hardware types including casement and awning window handles, espagnolette locks, winder mechanisms, friction hinges, window stays, sash lifts, double-hung sash locks, louvre blade clips, and security locks. We stock hardware for most major Australian aluminium window brands and can source specialty hardware for older or discontinued window systems.

Do you install pet doors in Wollongong?

Yes. We install pet doors (cat flaps and dog doors) cut into timber doors, aluminium doors, and glass panels using glass-cutting and panel inserts sized for your pet. We carry a range of standard pet door sizes and can advise on the best installation method for your door type. Glass panel pet door inserts are a popular option that preserves the integrity of your existing door.
