Jo’s top money saving tips
I asked Jo if she had any other tips for our readers this Winter. Here are a few more things you can do to stay on track. Thanks Jo!
Avoid electric heaters.
They cost a lot to run. For perspective, one hour of ewlectric heating is equivalent to Six or seven of gas power. Stock up on blankets and wrap up before switching on the heating. Use your thermostat and set the temperature to eighteen degrees - don’t leave heating on all of the time. Turn radiators off in any unused rooms.
How often do you make a hot drink?
(Jo asks us to consider safety first!) Invest in a hot water urn or large thermos flask. Effectively and quickly reduce your bill by using your kettle less.

Why Replace… We Repair…

Welcome to The Window Doctor, your window and door repair specialists.
Since our beginning in 1991, The Window Doctor has been a driving force behind raising the bar in quality and service within the industry. Our approach has never changed since day one, to deliver a cost-effective solution to the double glazing and door sector to standard never before experienced within the industry.

Over 30 years our technicians and office team have compiled a huge bank of knowledge from window repairs, commercial door issues and glazing to ensure that getting a repair completed or glass unit replacement undertaken is as easy and efficient as possible for you. By growing our knowledge daily, our team brings skills and expertise across every corner of the industry to come together and offer a truly vast offering to customers with window and door issues across Leicestershire and Nuneaton.
So why would you repair over replace?
Well, there are many reasons, the main one being cost. Our services in both repairing window and doors as well as glass unit replacement offer you a huge saving in comparison to replacing the broken window or door with a new one. With costs of over £1000 for a new front door common, depending on the repair required, costs can be as low as £50! The same goes for condensated units, often referred to as ‘misty’ or ‘cloudy’. This is when the seals break down causing moisture to get in between the unit and condensate. When this does happen, there is no need to replace the entire window, just the glass. This alone saves hundreds of pounds per window in costs. Furthermore, replacing just the glass helps us to do our part to reduce plastic waste, and we all like to do our bit where we can!
So why choose The Window Doctor?
Here is a few reasons why you can count on us…
