Simple Ways to Maintain Your Windows
Regular cleaning and basic maintenance can help keep your windows in good condition. Clean uPVC frames with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth, and avoid abrasive products that could damage the finish. Use a suitable glass cleaner to keep glass clear.
Check seals occasionally for dirt or displacement, and keep drainage channels clear of debris. Moving parts, such as hinges and locking mechanisms, may also need occasional lubrication, as recommended by the manufacturer. If a window remains difficult to operate or appears damaged, avoid forcing it and seek professional advice.
Should I Repair or Replace a Window?
Whether a window can be repaired depends on its age, design and the type of fault. Issues involving hardware, seals or individual glass units may have a straightforward solution, provided the rest of the window remains in good condition.
If the frame is significantly damaged or the window no longer provides the performance you need, replacing your windows may be worth considering. Otter Windows can help you explore the options available and determine the most suitable next step for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my window handle becomes stiff?
Avoid forcing the handle, as this could damage the window even more. Check for obvious obstructions and contact a professional if the window remains difficult to operate or lock securely.
Why is my double glazing misted between the panes?
Misting between the panes can indicate that the sealed glass unit has failed and moisture has entered the space between the glass panes. Depending on the window’s condition, replacing the sealed unit may be an option.
How often should I maintain my windows?
It’s sensible to inspect your windows occasionally and clean the frames, glass, seals and hardware regularly. Follow the manufacturer’s care guidance for specific cleaning and lubrication recommendations.
Happy Customers
Jane Halls
A no-nonsense approach, I didn’t get all the spill talk about discounts and offers at the moment. It’s just a really good quote given at the time. No waste of time phone calls was given the lead time of 12 weeks, which suited us perfectly. Easy to pay the instalments on my phone. The day of installation was very efficient, which was done by Sid.
Moya Paul
Absolutely delighted. The paperwork and organisation were flawless, delivery was on time, the workmanship excellent and the product was of the very highest standard. I thoroughly recommend you to anyone looking for new doors or windows.
Alan
Superb after-sales service. Had porch and front doors installed a few years ago, after contacting Otter Windows, John Capon a man all knowing in this field, promptly arrived and corrected both problems in a true professional manner. I can not rate this company high enough and have recommended them many times.
Matthew Bulliman
Very positive.
Debbie was really helpful in keeping us informed throughout the process. On the day, the fitter was very professional and carried out the work to a very high standard.
Phil Cordon
I was particularly happy with the rear or back door, which I asked to be a barn door. The engineer was honest and gave me proper advice, so I ended up with a split/tilt/open barn door, which far exceeded my expectations.
All work was carried out to a professional finish, and the installer was a very pleasant chap who cleaned up behind himself and left the place clean and tidy.
