There are a number of signs which will show you that your double glazing needs repairing. Firstly, the window will be draughty with air flowing through the frames. There may be chips or cracked glass or condensation may build up between the glass panes, meaning that the window seal is broken. Finally, you may see water leaks through the frame.

Double glazing repairs pertain to door and window frames and their moving parts such as door handles, window handles, window locks, door locks, including multi-point locks and euro-cylinders, also includes friction stays (window hinges) and door sundries such as letterboxes, door knockers and door panels etc.
