Aluminium and steel windows have a long life span, although components and double glazed units can fail their effective operation. Trained in a variety of glazing systems, we can often upgrade existing windows and repair them. We hold a stock of various parts and components including replacement gaskets from obsolete designs, tilt and turn mechanisms, sliding sash counterbalances, handles, hinges including friction stays. Other ways to upgrade existing windows include: • Glass replacement to a higher specification • commercial secondary glazing • In some instances double glazed units can be installed to replace single glazing • Solar control and safety film application • Seals, gaskets and brush pile can be replaced – we even hold stock of some obsolete designs • Components such as counterbalances can be replaced to restore full operation • Window furniture can be overhauled or replaced Commercial glaziers The complex and hazardous nature of the work requires each project to be planned individually and precisely with close attention to the Health & Safety of building users, operatives and the general public.

At The Glazing Face we use our extensive experience of different glazing systems to identify and assess the condition of glass, framework, caps, seals and fixings on an entire building or a single elevation. Our detailed report itemises these findings and provides recommendations for prioritising repairs or refurbishment together of course with detailed costings for these works. It is then recommended that the planned preventative maintenance visits be carried out, usually on a six-monthly or annual basis to re-inspect the glazing system and undertake any minor repairs needed. During the time not on site, reactive maintenance on unexpected items such as glass replacements can be carried out and the programme is continuously reviewed and frequency of visits updated accordingly.
