Clean the Frames and Glass: Use a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove pollen, dust, and bird droppings. Don’t forget the window tracks and door runners too!

Check for Drafts or Leaks: Summer’s the perfect time to inspect seals and weather stripping. If you feel warm air coming in, it may be time for a repair or replacement.

Lubricate Locks and Hinges: A quick spray of silicone lubricant on hinges, locks, and handles keeps everything smooth and secure... especially important with increased summer use.

Inspect for Warping or Swelling: Heat and humidity can cause wooden frames to expand. Check that windows and doors open and close freely, and sand or adjust where needed.

Ventilate Your Conservatory: Avoid overheating by opening roof vents or using a fan. Consider blinds or solar glass upgrades for long-term comfort.

Plan Ahead for Autumn

Spotted any cracks, misted glazing, or stiff handles? Book your repair now so you're ready before colder weather hits.
