Folks, Could anyone recommend someone to fix a pvc window. One not closing right and there's a major draft coming through. Closes most of the way but a gap at the top Need to get sorted so any info appreciated

No, they're quite cheap. Fitting them is easy

Open window
Put a pencil mark on the hinge and sash
Take the hinge off
Put new and old side by side
Mark new hinge at same point as old one
Fit new hinge to frame
Line up marks
Fit sash to hinge
