Frequently Asked Questions About the Sash Window Cord Repair Services Offered by Silver Saints
The home repair experts at Silver Saints often receive questions from London homeowners who want to know more about replacing their sash cords. Many London homeowners also have questions about how Silver Saints can help them repair sash window cords.

Here are some answers to some of London homeowners' most frequently asked questions about the sash window cord repair services offered by Silver Saints:

Q: Is it really necessary to repair sash window cords?

A:It is very important to fix faulty sash window cords straight away. Faulty sash window cords can pose several problems. These problems can include difficulties opening the window and problems with a "sticky" window that refuses to budge.

Q: How hard is it to repair sash window cords?

A: It's relatively straightforward to repair sash cord units. Most handymen can get the job done in about one to two hours.

Q: How exactly do you go about repairing sash cords?

A: In a nutshell, a handyman removes the outer casings and mouldings that surround the window case. After this is done, the handyman then removes the worn out sash cord from the frame. The handyman then opens up the compartment that contains the pulley that drives the unit to make room for the new sash cords.

Once that is done, the handyman then threads the new sash cord into the unit. This is usually done by first threading the new sash cord to the sash and then threading the sash cord over the pulley.

Finally, the new sash cord is firmly secured to the weight that drives the pulley. After this is done, the window is reassembled to finish the project.

Q: Why do most homeowners avoid trying to repair sash window cords if it's this easy to do the work yourself? A: Most people simply don't have the time, the tools or the patience to repair sash window cords. That's why we offer such quick service to our clients. We know that our clients' time is too valuable. That's why we try to do these jobs as efficiently as possible.

Q: So do you think your sash cord repair service a good value? A: We'd like to think that the prices we charge to repair sash window cords is a jolly good value because we help our clients who don't know how to fix windows save money, time and frustration by fixing the sash cords the first time round.

Q: Do you fix the cords on both the upper and lower sash?
A: Yes we can quickly repair sash window cords on either the upper or the lower sash.

Q: Do you also repair the sash cords on newer sash windows that have newer spiral spring balances instead of the older sash cord and weight system?

A: Indeed we do. These windows need to have a replacement system measured before we can repair the unit. As a result, it takes longer to repair these units properly.

Q: Finally, how can London residents reach you to book your services? A: London area residents may ring us, email us, or go online to book our services. We are available every day to help clients.
