the comments in the thread don't suggest it is good
but the post says it was included in Martin's email
so *confused*
Having said that, I'm going to try this too - nothing to loose (apart from fingers, temper, plot
:money:
This company does just the replacement glass : replacementdoubleglazedwindows.com but they only cover the north west

Do you reckon it would work?
Our windows are really steamed up in the mornings and are starting to make the plaster on the top and side of the window go mouldy which I am very worried about as we have a newborn.
Now I rang Safestyle for a quote. Bloke came round and I have never met such a pushy salesman. I stupidly decided to go for 8 windows and 2 doors. Started off at £10,000!!!!!!!!!!!!! 20 mins later he get it down to £4100! Amazing! I aggreed. That night I checked reviews (which I know I should have done before they came). The reviews were awful. I have cancelled them now.
So do I try for double glazing repair or continue to find maybe this time a local window company to repair? I have left the windows open for 30 mins when they steam up and they are fine. Do I pay or just open them up then put heating back on?
Iv'e got 'Georgian effect' double glazing (over 30 years old ) and most of the imitation bars/strips are falling off. On inspection they a seem to have been stuck on with a type of double sided tape. My neighbour (who has same problem) and I have enquired at many D.G. firms between us and none of them know what was used to stick these imitation bars/strips on with (or it's a trade secret and they won't say). I don't want to experiment with any old glue or tape that might just fall off with the first drop of rain, frost or hot day. There are about a hundred of these bars to fit totalling about a hundred feet. I want to do it right first time and once only. Can anybody please tell me what is the correct trade stuff to do this job and where I can get. Thank you.
