Anyone recommend someone to fix double glazed window?

I have a crack in one of my bedroom windows, does anyone know of someone that can fix it? Not sure it is a job large enough for one of the big double glazing firms to do.

Try one of the local glass shops, do you know why it cracked? If not struck by an object it could be a sign of movement around the window, any cracks to brickwork/render/plaster visible? if so you need advice as it's a symptom of something more serious. Sorry to be alarming!

I used to work in a building with metal-framed windows that had rusted, causing stress cracks in the glass. You could tap the window, and see the stress crack extending. Slightly alarming, but educational as well.

there is a d/glazing shop near the closed post office in Churchfield road. It's called Shalimar, I think. Nice guy , did a good job for me a while back

Just as an alternative for you, I usually get Aston Glass on Horn Lane to replace my sealed units. They're reasonably priced and quick. I've had them come round to measure up and quote on the same day; installation within the week0208 896 1707

Thanks Roy and Iain, much appreciated, will chase both up before end of the week! An example of what is brilliant about actonw3, I would not have a clue where to go otherwise and probably would have ended up out of desperation just forking out for an entire new window!
