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

  Rather than zero tolerance, a term I should have not used, I should have referred to crime, No crime (excluding some things which really should not be criminalised) should be tolerated (albeit the reaction to a naughty 13 year old will be different to a violent criminal, and similarly those with mental health issues there will be some flexibility), I' was talking zero crime, which is impossible. New York was vastly improved, what happened to that wonderful Giuliani chap? US is not a role model of course, homicides per head dwarf the UK; the damage that white flight and the desolation of inner cities that happened to many places such as Baltimore, Washington DC and Detroit is difficult to turn round Much rather move this debate to the Lounge!

  Charlotte Cave on Blackwater St, East Dulwich SE22 8SD Award-Winning colourists. They have just opened up their ED branch. The entire team can be trusted, unlike other local salons (won't mention the others that have totally destroyed my hair over the years). Just go to a professional: https://charlottecave.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/charlotte_cave/

  The quarterly SNT Police Meetings are advertised on EDF - the one Beansprout mentions, is Dulwich Hill. The team have been short staffed for a number of months as one officer was injured trying to arrest a shoplifter - unfortunately the shoplifter got away but the officer was left with fractures. We regularly see one or two of the police team around the Dulwich Hill area (they were recently in Landells Road) Dulwich Hill SNT are hoping to resume their Cuppa with a Copper sessions but are frequently asked to support colleagues policing the various protest marches. The next Dulwich Hill SNT meeting is scheduled for December (date to be confirmed) The attack on the young woman would come under the Goose Green SNT.
