Don't Replace Your Windows Until You Try This!

How to Tackle Window Problems

Use polythene for short term repair

Use polythene as a temporary measure when the window has shattered. Clean up broken glass and secure a sheet of polythene to the window frame.

Install a new pane

Use specialist glazers if unsure about this tricky process. If you do proceed, ensure you can prime and apply linseed oil putty.

Repair rotten wooden sills

Scrape off any rotten wood before starting work. Use a wood repair compound to fill in the gaps, being careful to achieve a smooth finish.

Unstick sash windows

Sash windows can get stuck in their tracks. Clean the tracks, chisel out any excess dried paint, and smooth the tracks with sandpaper.

Make rusted frames look new

Use a high-quality primer when repainting the frames, ensuring even coverage to achieve a smooth finish. Add more coats if needed.
