  • Is it possible to repair scratched glass in windows?

    Is it possible to repair scratched glass or will these windows simply need to be replaced? Are there repairable scratches and those that are beyond repair etc.? How can I tell if a scratch is beyond repair (if there is a point beyond repair)?

    Best windows for concealing heat and preventing draughts

    Are aluminium framed windows good at concealing heat and preventing draughts getting in? Are they any better than windows that use other materials for their frame or is it purely down to the strength of the window glass?

    Gap in my window letting heat out

    Hi all, Just wondering if you could advise me on a gap in my window where the hinge is. I have a brown uPVC window but it seems to be letting in a draught. If you sit at the right angle you can see daylight coming through. This is the space between the window opening and the frame, is this something that can be tightened and re-aligned or does the window opening need replacing? Thanks in advance.

    Removing a uPVC porch

    In the front of our house we have an old uPVC porch. Its going to come down easily enough because it's just glazed panels. Im just wondering how it's actually attached to the house. I don’t mind ruining the porch but want to have minimal damage to the walls of my property. Thanks.

    Double Glazing Seals?

    We moved into our flat in November last year and noticed the double glazing seals might have popped. I would just like to understand an approximate cost to get them repaired, as without the double glazing there is a fair bit of noise and a small draft coming in from some of the windows. There is no damage to the glass, as far as i'm aware it's just the seals.
