Starting a home renovation in Wellingborough can be exciting, but it can also raise tricky questions, such as ‘Do I need new windows and doors?’
One common dilemma homeowners face is deciding whether to replace or simply repair their windows and doors.
Making the right choice can save money, improve energy efficiency and enhance your home’s security and style. At MO Windows, we’ve created a simple checklist to help you decide:
When should I replace my windows?
It is time to consider replacing your windows if you notice major signs of failure, which could include:
Drafts and cold spots: If your windows let in draughts, your heating bills may be higher than necessary. Modern double or triple-glazed windows can reduce heat loss.
Moisture between panes: Foggy or wet glass between double-glazed panes shows that the seal has failed and your windows are not insulating properly.
Warped or rotting frames: Wooden frames can warp or rot over time and uPVC can crack or bow. Either problem affects how the window works and looks.
Replacing windows solves these issues and brings long-term energy savings, better insulation and a fresher look for your home. We’ve installed A+ rated windows across in Wellingborough, Sywell, Earls Barton and Isham – have a look at our gallery of recent Northamptonshire replacement windows.
When should I replace my doors?
Consider replacing a door if you notice any of the following issues – or if you’re undergoing a cosmetic redesign of your home:
Serious damage: Cracks, deep scratches or structural issues make your door unsafe or unsightly.
Broken locking mechanism: If the lock is permanently damaged or outdated, a new door improves security.
Style upgrade: Sometimes, replacement is about style. A modern door can increase kerb appeal and complement your renovation plans. And if it’s a stylish door you are looking for, then our free Online Door Designer allows you to create your dream front door – with over 2 million possibilities. Try it now.

Can I just repair my windows and doors?
Not every window or door problem means you’ll need a full replacement. Simple repairs can extend the life while saving money. Here’s a few tips for repairing windows and doors:
Lubricate locks and hinges: Squeaky locks, stiff windows and door hinges can be temporarily fixed with whereas 3-in1-oil. (Always wipe away any excess to prevent staining)
Replace handles or minor fittings: Broken handles, latches or locking mechanisms are easy to fix. We offer a repair service across Wellingborough to maintain your windows and doors, without the need for a full replacement.
Assessing the condition of your windows and doors carefully helps you make choices that save money, improve comfort and keep your home looking its best.
