Misted glass, stiff handles or a persistent draft?
Start with the problem. Find out what to check next.
Choose a problem to see your quote checklist.
For glass or misting, note the affected panes, approximate size, and whether there is visible damage. Keep clear of broken glass.
Have a photo, your location, and access details ready. This demo does not send anything.
Start with what you notice
01 / Glass
Describe where the mark appears: on the room side, the outside, or between panes. Mention how many windows are affected and whether the appearance changes.
Useful detail: a photo of the whole window and a closer view taken from a safe position.
02 / Hardware
Explain whether the handle turns, the sash opens, or the window closes fully. Note when the problem began and whether it affects locking.
Useful detail: the type of opening and any visible manufacturer name.
03 / Seals
Note where the draft, noise or moisture appears and the conditions when you notice it. That context helps a repairer decide what to assess.
Useful detail: the affected room, location around the frame and when it happens.
No repair is confirmed until scope, price and timing are agreed.
Share what you can see, without handling damaged glass.
Discuss assessment, suitable repairs and the price.
Agree access, materials and a convenient appointment.
Before an assessment
You do not need to diagnose the fault yourself. Describe the window, the problem and how it can be accessed.
Include the room, floor and number of affected windows. Approximate dimensions are useful if already known.
Say when you noticed the problem, whether it is constant and if it changes with weather or use.
Mention stairs, parking restrictions, furniture nearby or any arrangements needed to enter the property.
Confirm assessment fees, repair options, materials, timing and the final price with the actual service provider.
Common questions
The right option depends on the glass, frame, hardware and condition of the installation. Ask a repairer to explain the available options and what each quote includes before agreeing to work.
A photo can help describe the problem. Measurements, access and an assessment may still be needed before the repair method and price can be confirmed.
