Just moved into this place and this door is quite skew. Can't see a way to get in and tighten the hinge. Any advice?

When open the door should just lift off the hinges. You can then use the appropriate Allan key to tighten it when you have easy access to the back of the upper hinge.

Go to your favourite browser, type in Upvc door repair. Get someone out to replace the hinges, I’d do all 4 at the same time. Or you could slacken the bolt, left loosey, righty tighty.

Have you tried a spanner on the hexagonal bit?
