Hello all,

I've recently bought an ex-local house (my first house).

The vents at the top of the double glazed windows have been smeared shut with some sort of putty that is now rock-hard. I guess there was a draft through them, and whoever lived there before couldn't shut them, and so went for this dramatic option.

It looks absolutely minging though.

I'd like to find out to what repairs are possible - whether the vents can be replaced. Or the putty (which is rock hard)removed. Or whether I have to get new panes of glass.

(I want to avoid replacing the windows - as it's ex-local the Council might decide to replace all the windows at some point in the near future anyway, and charge me for it)

Can anyone recommend any companies who do UPVC window repairs? Any local tradespeople feel they can confidently help with this?

Many thanks,

Alex

  You might be interested in watching this video on you tube. It's from a wildlife gardener called Joel Ashton who regularly posts about his work in that area. Being interested in that kind of thing I follow him a lot. Anyway, a few days ago he posted about his plants being deliberately poisoned allegedly by his neighbour. He is going through the process of taking legal action and videoing this journey. There is another follow up which he posted a couple of days ago . It might be helpful to you. I think I should point out that the alleged culprit is not identified on the video so not breaking any privacy laws in sharing this.

  Around ten days ago there were around 6 Mallard ducklings and the same number of Canada Goose goslings. Today, not one to be seen 😥
