Double Glazing Repairs In Maidstone, Chatham And Kent

Any opening in a wall is a weak point and older solid walled buildings can suffer problems where hidden wooden lintels have become rotten. Clues to this can include cracking over window openings externally to the brickwork to brick arches, stonework or render. Cracking to internal plasterwork can develop where internal timber lintels are defective. Unfortunately, once a sealed unit has started how to board up a broken window mist, there’s not a lot that can be done other than replacement (although short-term fixes sometimes work). The simplest form of repair is to strengthen the corner of a window with an angle bracket made from non-corroding brass or stainless steel. The bracket can be secured in place and concealed once any decay has been cut out and filled.

You can replace the glass in your windows without changing the frame. If you bought your windows from Anglian within the last 15 years, and you have condensation between the glass (which means your sealed units have blown), we'll replace the glass extension in the window frame. In most cases, replacing a window can be a better option for older or damaged windows. Modern window designs have higher levels of security and energy-efficiency to protect against weather damage and other problems.

Additionally, they can also upgrade the locks to more secure and modern options to enhance the property’s overall security. During the replacement process, professionals take care to ensure a precise fit, emergency glass repair preventing drafts and maintaining the double glazed window’s insulation properties. We also check the locking system’s smooth operation and alignment to ensure that the windows are easily opened, closed, and securely locked.

To overhaul sashes you really need to remove them from their frames. This can be done from the interior by carefully prising off the nailed timber beading. Common problems such as broken sash cords and jammed pulleys are obvious and easily fixed, but other defects are less obvious. Soft, decaying wood, flaking paint and sticking windows are all signs of rot in timber windows. Safety glass is required for windows where the bottom of the glazing is within 800mm of floor level.
