Does anybody do this?  Is anyone interested in doing this as an add on?

There's a link here that explains the process:

http://www.repairfoggywindows.com/?gclid=COyBhqXvup4CFVtn4wod6BIzlw

I can think of shed fulls of properties that I clean that has foggy windows; so it interests me.  Has anyone got any information on this?

That's what gave me the idea to ask.

i was working the other month and a guy who was leafletting stopped me ,gave me an 0800 flier that he was using to canvass about repairing duff glass . i asked him about these foggywindows and he told me any repair never works and he just always renews the glass unit . but he advertises as a repairer as this sounds cheaper

he told me he had had a really big glass firm but the recession had caused it to fail and now he was on the streets building things from scratch and he said he"d slip me a few quid if i point any jobs his way.iv kept his flier but not sure i want to be a salesman for him . not till spring anyway

just pop along to your local PVCu supplier and explain to the guy behind the trade counter that your a window cleaner and a customer has asked if you could give her a price on a new unit, he will give you a tool to measure the thickness of the glass ( whilst still fitted ) and a few tools to take the beads out, no more than 25 quid

then offer it as a sideline

measure the thickness of the glass, measure the size of the PVCu opening , the opening that the beads sit in, then you can measure and order the double glazed unit without taking it out, then when the unit is ready, pick it up, take out old unit and fit new

its all very easy, if you want to do it in a serious way, i will, take some pics and explain in more detail in a bit of a guide

i know what i am on about as this was part of my job for a council in south wales, i headed a specialist PVCu team that did the work for the council ( the amount of courses i went on for this was frightening  : but a good laugh at the time )

Matt, I don't give a hoot what anyone else says about you, I think you're quite a bright bloke on the sly.

Thank you.
