Ways we can help in Stranraer
Window Repairs in Stranraer
Draught seals and gaskets compress and shrink over time, letting in cold air and noise. Replacing them with a matching profile restores the seal without changing the window. The glazier checks the gasket type, as frames from different makers often use different profiles.
Glass Balustrades in Stranraer
Toughened glass cannot be cut, drilled or shaped once it has been toughened, so every hole, notch and corner is made before processing. That is why we template on site and order each panel to exact sizes. A panel made to the wrong measurement has to be remade, not trimmed.
Aluminium Windows in Stranraer
Modern aluminium window frames contain a thermal break: strips of low-conductivity material, usually polyamide, that separate the inner and outer aluminium. Without it, heat passes straight through the metal. Older aluminium windows made without thermal breaks are a common cause of cold frames and streaming condensation.

Glazing in Stranraer: questions
Do I need building regulations approval?
Replacing just the glass in an existing frame is usually treated as a repair. Replacing whole windows or glazed external doors is building work, and the rules on notification differ between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Your quote explains what applies and how it will be handled.
Can I cancel after accepting a quote?
If you contract at home or remotely, you normally have 14 days to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations. Made-to-measure goods that have been made to your specification may not be cancellable once production starts; your quote and terms explain this clearly.
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.
Do you only replace glass, or whole windows too?
Both. Many problems, such as a cracked pane, a misted sealed unit or a broken hinge, can be fixed without replacing the frame. When a frame is rotten, warped or past repair, we quote for new uPVC, aluminium or timber-effect windows and doors instead, and we say which option makes more sense for your property.
