Most often the culprit isn't the glass but a worn seal and poor closing. If the window doesn't press tightly, cold air is drawn in around the edges. We check the whole window and make it airtight without replacing the window itself.
We remove the draught around the window edges
Schlegel Q-Lon seal that stands up to frost
Less heating cost in winter
A new window may not be needed
We check the whole window, not just the seal

What we do
How we make the window warm
◲
Seal replacement
We replace the worn seal with Schlegel Q-Lon that seals properly.
↕
Closing pressure
We adjust the closing pressure so the sash presses on the seal evenly.
⚙
Hardware
We set the hardware so the window closes tightly in every corner.
Work rates are listed in our price list. After inspection, we agree the work, materials and total before repairs begin. Call-out and travel are charged separately.

How we work
Four simple steps
1
Describe the problem
One call or message. Describe in a couple of sentences what's wrong with the window and we'll agree on a time.
2
We find where the cold comes from
We inspect the whole window, not just the seal: seal, closing pressure, hardware and sash position. We tell you honestly what will help.
3
We make the window tight
If needed we replace the worn seal with Schlegel Q-Lon, adjust the closing pressure, set up the hardware and move a sagging sash back into position.
4
We check the result
After the work we check that the window closes tightly in all corners and the draught is gone. We give a warranty on the work done.

Problem and solution
Is the cold coming through or around the window?
Opening sash and seals
For air passing between the sash and frame, we check seal condition and fit, sash alignment and closing pressure. Adjustment or seal replacement may help. With older timber windows we also assess the wood and painted surfaces.
Installation joint repairs
The joint between the frame and wall is separate from the opening sash seal. We assess and repair leaks according to the construction. Tapes and other sealing materials must suit the substrate and moisture conditions; covering the visible crack alone may not address the cause.
Window reveal insulation
A cold reveal caused by the surrounding construction may need insulation. We first assess moisture, the finish and the extent of repairs. We agree the solution and price, including which finishing work is part of the quotation.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Not necessarily. A sash seal closes the gap between the frame and opening part. A cold reveal or leaking installation joint may need separate repairs and insulation. Send an overall photo and a close-up of the problem; inspection establishes the cause and scope.
If the window was letting cold in through a worn seal, proper sealing reduces heat loss. We can't promise an exact saving as it depends on the house and heating, but the draught goes.
Most often no. Usually a worn seal and poor closing are to blame, not the glass. We check the window and make it airtight without replacing it.
Work rates are listed in our price list. After inspection, we agree the work, materials and total before repairs begin. Call-out and travel are charged separately.
Sometimes. If condensation comes from poor sealing, sealing helps. If the main cause is air humidity and ventilation, we'll say so honestly.
Right after the work. Once the window presses tightly again, you feel the difference at the first close.
Yes, we work year-round, including winter. Seal replacement is done on site and the window stays in place.
Usually within a few days. Describe the problem and we'll agree on a time.
We help with both material and replacement of worn seals. Q-Lon material alone is €4.50/m. Replacement including material and labour is €7/m or €10/m for recessed seals; the 50% material discount is already included in that total. Call-out is separate.
The call-out fee is added to labour charges: first visit in Tallinn €35, repeat visit €10. Outside Tallinn, travel is €0.50/km for the total distance travelled; call-out terms are agreed before the visit. We confirm the total before work starts.
