I bought my bungalow 18 months ago. The coloured glass in the top windows kept cracking in cold weather, but all the cracked panes were replaced before I moved in. When another window cracked last winter I called out the installer again, but they charged me £60. Do I have to pay this? Surely glass should last more than a few years?
You can sometimes take over the warranties for double-glazing and damp courses when you buy a house. It’s a good idea if you can do it, since without the warranty you have no claim on the installer: their contract was with the previous owner of the house. If (when) you pay the bill you should try to reach some agreement with the firm about the rest of the windows.
