Skyways window repair and restoration When we experience problems with our windows or conservatories, often we bury our heads in the sand to avoid the vast expense of replacing them.

Few people know that there is no need to replace old windows. Double glazed windows, whether they are uPVC, aluminium or hardwood can all be restored to ‘good as new’ if not ‘better than new’ condition.

As our Lancaster customer base continues to grow through word of mouth, due to popular demand we are delighted to have expanded our team in order to provide a dedicated call-out service (no charge) for this area.

Restoring your windows is not only a minor expense compared to replacement but it is also really easy.

There is no mess or hassle, no need to redecorate and our teams pride themselves on leaving your home in immaculate condition. You wouldn’t spend thousands of pounds on a car and not have it serviced – windows are exactly the same. Well maintained windows will last you and give you value for money whereas ignoring problems inevitably make them worse.

As part of our full service, our technicians refurbish or replace the drainage channels, weather

seals, gaskets, silicone sealants, hinges, locking mechanisms, handles and frames. When cleaning and restoring uPVC, we use our own solution designed by chemical engineers exclusively for Skyways. It’s also completely unique, aswell as restoring your uPVC back to its former glory, most importantly, it protects and preserves too.

After our service, your home will look better, be more safe and secure AND it will be warmer - so you needn’t spend as much on energy bills! For your peace of mind, all our work is fully guaranteed. We can also advise you about options for Thermal Glass to give your home extra protection from the elements and to save you even more on your energy bills. If traffic noise (or your neighbours!) are a concern, we also supply and install Acoustic Glass which significantly reduces sound pollution.

So if you’re thinking about having your windows replaced or you are experiencing any problems with them, please give us a call and speak to one of our team. Alternatively, visit our website for more information, our gallery and testimonials.

We’re a small family run business – the majority of our work comes from word of mouth. You won’t get a better or more personal service than the one we provide.

Skyways are the trusted experts; here to help with all your window concerns. So, don’t replace your old windows, repair and restore them for a fraction of the cost.

How you can save thousands on your window repairs

WE REPAIR AND REPLACE

It’s stressful when things break or go wrong.

Especially when it seems the only solution comes at great expense. Unexpected bills hit households hard at a time when every penny counts, and means thousands of homeowners put off fixing their windows or doors for fear of the costs involved.

Steamed-Up Windows Broken Hinges Handles & Locks

But with national window, door and conservatory repair specialists, WindowGeeks, local home owners have access to a real money-saving option.

One that will reduce what could be an alarming bill in the thousands to a fair one in the low hundreds – or even lower than that. In fact, the average single repair or replacement undertaken by WindowGeeks is less than £65.

OUR GLASS COMES WITH A 10 YEAR GUARANTEEE

“Lots of people have problems with their windows, “They get steamed up and won’t clear, or the locks stick and the handles get loose. What most people don’t realise, though, is that all of that can be fixed quickly and without spending a fortune.

“There are quite a few traditional window companies that won’t repair though, as they’re not really interested in the smaller jobs. And that’s what’s so great about WindowGeeks. We offer the most cost-effective solution, which makes it a very easy decision for our customers. There’s no pressure sales from us because there’s no viable alternative.

Unless you want to spend 10, 20 or even 100 times more on replacing all your windows !”

While the cost savings might be the biggest draw,there’s another reason customers should choose WindowGeeks,“It’s all about honesty and trust”. “There’s an integrity to what WindowGeeks does and that’s very important to us. We tell the truth, we only charge for what needs doing, we honour our promises and we help people everyday. That might sound corny, but you can run a successful business and be ethical at the same time.”

Preston City Council is to carry out a soft market test to seek feedback from experienced organisations, on its aspiration for an innovative and economically viable ‘Entertainment and Leisure Hub’ at the Guild Hall complex.

increased visitor numbers, student retention and improved job/training opportunities within the leisure, entertainment and cultural sector; and, • Commercial viability and value for money is improved.

The council, which has been amongst the worst affected by government budget cuts, is seeking to reduce the subsidy it supports the Guild Hall with which is currently in excess of £1 million per year.

Interested parties will be invited to attend an open day and discuss ideas and options already in the public domain about how the Guild Hall could be operated in the future.

Councillor Tom Burns, cabinet member for culture and leisure, said: “As a council we want to achieve the best offer of commercial, retail, leisure, entertainment and culture for the city centre.

“We need to get the views of experienced organisations on whether this approach is attractive to the market and can offer greater economies of scale and whether we can achieve efficiency savings.

The aim of the exercise is to enable the Council to suitably shape its future aspirations for the Guild Hall and assess if there is sufficient market interest to demonstrate whether commercial investment is viable.

The council has stressed that the key outcomes of any proposal must ensure that: • The existing leisure, entertainment and cultural offer within Preston is enhanced significantly; • The local economy is directly supported through

“However, we are under severe pressures as our budget continues to reduce and we need to be having these conversations with experienced organisations in the private and public sector about how we can ensure an improved entertainment offer in Preston.”

At present 5 developers are in the process of applying for planning permission to build homes to the north of Hoyles Lane & Lightfoot Lane, which in the Preston Masterplan could include 5000+ homes to the north of Preston. The Majority of this traffic is scheduled to feed into the existing road network with Hoyles Lane, Lea Road, Cottam Way, Tom Benson Way and Lightfoot Lane bearing the brunt of this extra traffic.

Cottam Village Action Group [CoVAG] is one of the residents action groups that have been set up to ensure that these developers listen to the local residents on how they would like the area to be developed, for the benefit of existing residents as well as the future ones. Whilst we are not the only action group covering the north of Preston we have close working relationships with the others and have links from our website to these groups.
