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

  We used Paul this week for various issue we had with the house. He offered sound advice, communicated very well and we are happy with the work completed. Would definitely recommend

  Might have left the job but says very little about agency management.. surely most companies have a hand over or would at least check that all was in place… how long does it take to just look at e mails to see everything has been done? Hoping this is not for real as I thought this agency was long established in the area…Buck stops with manager of rental department or Manager is overall charge.. Everyone likes to pass the buck on - own up, put your hands up, everyone makes mistakes…
