Daylight Saving Ends 7th April
As you prepare to put your clocks back this week end and check your fire alarms, it’s a good idea to check the windows in each room by opening and closing them to see how well the friction stays are working. One way to check if they are working correctly is to open the window, place a business card at the top of the window between the frame and the sash, and close the window. The card should stay there and be hard to pull out. If the business card falls out, or is easily pulled out the friction stays are worn and you’ll need to call us to replace them. In this condition they can be draughty and leak.
If your windows are in reasonable condition, opening and closing them fully two or three times, twice a year, should avoid the need to call us and lengthen the life of them.
Note- if your windows are really stiff don’t force them or you could break them. If you are careful you can lubricate the pivot points on either side with a spray lube. Anything but the red CRC (5.56) is okay. The red CDC has a cutting compound in it.
If you find any problems give us a call on 0800 25 25 00
