Describe the movement problem
Identify the rubbing corner, play when closed or resistance at the handle. Do not force the sash: similar symptoms can have different causes.

PVC window adjustment in Kraków
A window catching as it closes in Kraków? An adjustment enquiry should distinguish sash alignment, handle operation and hardware condition: adjustment does not resolve every draught.
Individual quoteLabour · visit minimum 129 PLN
Travel and timing require separate agreement after the task is assessed. Any travel arrangements are agreed before confirmation, without an automatic surcharge or an immediate-arrival promise.
An enquiry does not confirm a visit. Materials are separate; scope, price and technician must be agreed.
SASH MOVEMENT AND CLOSING PRESSURE
As travel is arranged separately, show the whole sash and rubbing point before a visit is planned. State whether it closes without force and how many sashes need assessment. Kraków has no approved per-sash rate: scope and price are agreed individually, not copied from Warsaw.
PVC window and balcony-door adjustment concerns an accessible sash with serviceable hardware. Explain where it catches and whether the problem appears during opening, tilting or closing. These symptoms help distinguish sash alignment from a damaged gearbox, hinge or seal. The hardware system, profile condition and access must be identified before work. Adjustment does not repair cracks, warped components or damaged glazing. Several sashes can be included in one request, with the symptoms listed separately for each.
Adjustment or hardware repair?
Adjustment uses the available settings of functioning hardware. A broken hinge, damaged gearbox or missing component requires a separate repair and parts.
What is assessed?
Sash travel, seal contact, handle operation and visible connections are assessed. Pressure must suit the system; tighter closing is not automatically better.
One sash or several?
The unit is one opening sash, not an entire multi-sash window. Give the number and approximate dimensions, listing balcony doors separately.

Before you enquire
Will adjustment stop every draught?
No. Worn seals, the frame-to-wall joint or profile damage may be responsible. The cause needs identifying first.
How should I describe a two-sash window?
Count the sashes needing adjustment and describe each symptom. Quantity helps define the scope; this city has no approved per-sash rate.
Can a heavy balcony door be adjusted?
Feasibility depends on the system, hinges and access. Non-standard constructions require assessment rather than automatic price confirmation.
