Cheaper, quicker, friendlier alternative to replacing double glazing

PEARSON GLAZING in Peckham - 020 7732 1511.


I have 20+ year old aluminium double glazing. On three of the windows, the hinges and levers had buckled and I was unable to open / close these windows. Had quotes from other local double glazing firms who told me the whole window unit needs replacing. As the estimated cost for this was around two thousand, it was outside my budget.


Happened to drive by Pearsons in Peckham, noticed that they replaced hinges. Same week appointment, really polite, knowledgeable, friendly lads who had the job done in just over an hour costing just under ?300.

Windows good as new.


On a slight down/upside depending on your viewpoint, one of the lads made a small crack in the window as he was refitting. He came straight in to tell me, measured up came back later the same day and REPLACED THE WHOLE DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOW unit and threw in wedges that were missing on other windows all free of charge.


Cannot fault the work ethic, highly recommended.

    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
    • I agree there are other options, but apart from cutting off bits of the body, which is probably not going to happen here, at least hopefully not in my lifetime, I wouldn't call them"stricter"! Unfortunately ultimately it may depend on what is cost effective in terms of implementation.
    • This year it was Pfizer. Last year was Moderna and I was quite  ill after it for the first time. I think last year was the only time I have had Moderna, but the illness may have been nothing to do with what kind of jab it was, I don't know. I have no idea whether everyone gets the same one in any particular year, but I'm sure someone else on here will know! 
    • Thanks for posting this JMK we have had 3 children at Charter East so have been involved with the school from the very early days and have watched the impact of inconsistent, unsupportive and at worst unprofessional and biased management on them over the years. Individual teachers have at times been great and as JMK says it is the overall structure that creates a toxic and punitive atmosphere which directly impacts some families more than others and these are the kids overwhelmingly that have an SEN.  The experience of these families is night and day compared with the families with children that can cope in this system.
