He did a great job at a good price, smoothly and efficiently. I am really pleased with the finished result. I definitely recommend and would call again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service. Gave an estimate online and then came out to provide quote after inspection. Very competitive price. Windows that were replaced are a perfect match including a textured and frosted bathroom window. Would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic service and value.
Came when he said he would and on time.
Replaced 4 blown sealed units and 2 dodgy locking window handles.
Took around 2 hours.
Tidy worker and took shoes off when in house - respectful of customer’s property.
Gave some good advice on maintaining the window opener mechanism  etc and made the windows as good as new.
I was thinking of replacing the windows and his advice has probably saved me £10k!
Will defo use again and would highly recommend to others.
I’d give 6 stars if I could.
Thanks Richard.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter had a problem with her daughters bedroom window (would not open and had not done so for nearly a year)I rang Richard on Wed 1/11/23 at 3pm and he came to repair it on Thur 2/11/23 at 1.30 pm. By 2.15 he had fixed it and gone, the time he was there he was polite, kind and courteous, left no mess whatsoever so for all your repairs to double glazing windows/doors and conservatories don't bother with the larger companies ring Richard and he will solve the problem without it costing you an arm and a leg, these people need patronising  so put his number in your phone book.
Many Thanks for your prompt attention Richard.

Richard came out the day I phoned. The job would have been done within the week but I was at work so a couple of days after. Polite, quick service at a reasonable price. Thanks once again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rang Richard as the hinge on a window bent whist closing and also needed a new handle putting. Came out 2 days later did the jobs. Really professional knows his job. Reasonable rates. Very pleasant and polite. I can’t praise him enough. Please use this chap with confidence.

Why Has The Double Glazed Unit Broken Down?

There are a few reasons why a double-glazed unit may break down and mist up, including how the sealed unit was made, how the framework was made, and/or how the double-glazed unit was fitted into the framework.

We have removed units where the frame has not been drained for water escape and the unit has been sat in a ‘puddle’. We will drain every window where necessary before installing the new unit, on a minimum of a 5mm plastic glazing packer.

Most units replaced by us are south or west facing where the sun is at its strongest during the day. This alone is the major contributor to premature sealed unit failure combined with the winter freeze and thaw, which all puts extra pressure on that seal between the panes.

Richard’s Frame Fitting Techniques

There are a number of different glazing techniques for fitting double-glazing sealed units into different frame materials such as wood as opposed to either PVCu or aluminium frames.

There are some important do’s and dont’s to ensure a reasonable life expectancy for the sealed unit.

What can you do about misted-up (condensed) double-glazed sealed units?

The only answer is to replace the double-glazed sealed units with new ones. That means no alteration or disruption to the framework as the glass sealed unit is designed to be removable and replaceable.

Trying to separate the glass panes to clean them is not practical as the sealed unit was made with the panes bonded together with factory sealant.

Here’s how Richard can Help

Richard Singleton can fit replacement units to exactly the same specification as the ones removed.

Double Glazed Replacements With Exact Replica Parts

The job of replacing the new panes is quick, with no mess. In 99% of jobs, the curtains do not even need removing.

We can make an exact replica of the parts where panes have leaded strips stuck on the glass or the Georgian bar in-between the glass.

Here we replaced some failed leaded units with clear ones as the lead obstructed such a nice view. (photo before and after)
