    I used JKGlass in Bangor in September to replace hinges, handles, locking mechanisms also a couple of wore out rubber seals on some of my windows, house all draft free and Windows closing properly for the first time in years.
    Weren't hard to pay either, I didn't ask a price for the job first and was getting worried at how many things they were changing, but was very pleased with the results and the price.
  • Next time go with high quality and long guarantees - for example Klassen

    Quality was good - repairs are for windows fitted 21 years ago

    Hi screwfix carry a range of handles and hinges for upvc windows. The handles are more or less a standard size, however the sliding hinges differ in length and width so you will need to measure these to ensure you get the correct ones. If the size you require is not stocked by screwfix they can easily be found on the web for very little money and installed by someone who knows how to hold a screwdriver.

    I hope this is of help :beer:
  • Hi guys,
    Klassen seems to be a reliable firm, and they have ecologically certified wood, which is a very good thing, at least for me, because I care for the environment.
    Cheers

    Now two new posters praising Klassen out of context!

    I am sceptical:D
