There are several problems which can develop over time:
1. The friction wears out & windows flop open in the breeze,
2. The hinge gets corroded & stiff to open, sometimes this can be re-covered by spraying the 4 friction joints with a spray lube, anything but the red 556 CRC which has a cutting compound in it.
3. The hinge wears & loses the ability to pull the top of the window closed
An easy way to check your friction stays is with our free draft testing card. To request a card, or book a free assessment, give us a call on 0800 25 25 00

Hi There,
I'm planning on installing a new range hood and I need someone to install it for me. It must have an exit flue rather than recirculated air. There is no range hood to be pulled out...just a brand new install. I want a professional on the job..... so please no cowboys! If … View moreHi There,
I'm planning on installing a new range hood and I need someone to install it for me. It must have an exit flue rather than recirculated air. There is no range hood to be pulled out...just a brand new install. I want a professional on the job..... so please no cowboys! If you're interested in taking on this job I'd be keen to have you around to look at what is required and give me a price.
Thanks

“I am 83 living alone. My neighbours Grant and Annette Phillips were wonderful during the lockdown, getting my shopping and taking me to the dentist when I broke my dentures and had no way of getting them mended. When I needed help in an emergency they were there for me reattaching the connections under my bed which I could not get to.They have taken me to doctors appointments and helped when I needed help in the house after a fall and when my Medic Alarm has been activated.”
