Ways we can help in Downpatrick
Window Repairs in Downpatrick
Friction stays are the hinges on most uPVC and aluminium casement windows. When the sliding shoe wears or the arms bend, the window drops, binds or will not stay open. Replacements must match the stay's length, stack height and type, which the glazier measures before ordering.
Misted Glass Repair in Downpatrick
Common causes of seal failure include water sitting in the frame rebate because drainage holes are blocked, units fitted without correct packers, strong sun on dark frames, and age. Clearing the drainage slots in the frame helps protect the new unit from the same problem.
Safety Glass in Downpatrick
Toughened glass is ordinary float glass that has been cut to size, heated and then cooled quickly with jets of air. This leaves the surfaces in compression, making it several times stronger than untreated glass of the same thickness. When it does break, it crumbles into small, relatively blunt pieces.

Glazing in Downpatrick: questions
Is the survey really free?
Yes, for new glazing and glass replacement. Measuring and quoting costs you nothing and there is no obligation to go ahead. If a visit is only to diagnose or repair a fault, or to board up a broken window, we tell you before booking whether a charge applies. Once you accept a quote, the price on it is the price for that specification, and any extra work is agreed with you in writing first.
What is safety glass and where is it needed?
Safety glass is toughened or laminated glass that breaks in a safer way than ordinary float glass. Building regulations require it in critical locations, such as glass in and beside doors and low-level glazing, and we specify it wherever it is required.
How long does a job take?
Glass is made to measure, so there is usually a lead time between survey and fitting. Fitting a sealed unit is normally quick; new windows, doors and architectural glass take longer. Your quote gives the expected lead time and how long the fitting will take on site.
Is my information shared with anyone?
Your enquiry is used to arrange your survey and quote. It is handled by the S&K Group and the glazier assigned to your job, and is not sold to third parties. See the privacy policy for full details.
