Draughty Windows?

Are your windows draughty? always letting the cold air in? or just not shutting as tight as you think they should? Then the chances are you have faulty window hinges.

This usually happens with age and eventually the small rivets that hold your hinges together start to fail leading to the window not being able to fully pull in against the window frame leaving a gap between the opening section of your window and the internal frame either at the bottom or top (or sonetimes both).

We get a lot of calls from customers being told they need new windows to fix these issues but that is far from the truth. Don’t be fooled if a company tells you the only way to proceed is having new windows installed, more often than not all you need is new parts and some TLC.

Here at Samuel Charles Glass and Glazing we will always make sure you get offered the right service to fix your draughty windows, whether it’s just a service and adjustment or simply some new parts.

Give us a call today and we will pop round to do a free survey and let you know all your options to fix the draughty windows and we can have your home sealed up and secure like it was meant to be at just a fraction of the cost of new windows.

Cloudy Glass Replacement

With the energy crisis continuing to loom with no end in sight it’s no wonder we’ve seen an exceptional increase in need for our double glazing repairs. In the past few months alone, we have received an unprecedented number of calls for us to come and replace old cloudy glass double glazed units and install brand new energy rated glass.

Our energy rated glass not only brings back the clear view you should be accustomed too in your home but also massively helps towards keeping all that heat from escaping. Another bonus aspect of this type of double glazing repair is that it will make sure the moisture stays on the outside of the glass and away from the inside of your home which eventually leads to those tricky mould and damp issues you could be facing.

So if you’re thinking of ideas to keep warm this winter whilst keeping those outrageous energy bills down then contact us right away and we will be more than happy to explain all the options available to you and provide you with a free quotation

Emergency Board ups

Sometimes the need for glazing services can happen when you least suspect it, which is why we set up an emergency line to have your needs covered.

Unfortunately accidents can happen whether its smashed windows, break ins or you’ve locked yourselves out of your home. With that in mind, we operate an emergency board up and secure service for windows and doors. No matter the time we offer a 90 minute response time to have your property sorted out and bring peace of mind back.

This doesn’t just cover private home properties, just this past week we were called out late one night to board up and secure a primary school that had been the target of local vandals. The property had to be secure and in full working order by morning with absolutely no broken glass in sight before the children could return.

Once all board up and securing is compete our team will always measure and survey for replacement works to be done so we can keep the time scale down to a minimum.

The Emergency window and door repairs can take us further afield than you might think so don’t worry if you’re not in Thornton we also cover a wide range of areas from Preston to Windemere and the Blackpool to Morecambe.
