Draught proofing and chimney balloon for a greener home

It is no secret that having an energy efficient home can save you money and at the moment I don't think there are many people that aren't fans of saving money.

In fact more and more people are looking for ways to make their homes more energy efficient spaces. You don't have to look any further than Silver Saints - London's professional handyman service, we offer a highly effective (both in purpose and cost) sash window draught proofing service that not only keeps the chilling draft out and the warmth in but also vastly improves the operation of your sash window.

We offer a fixed price of £95+vat per window so it wont cost you the earth either.

The second energy efficiency product we offer is the supply and installation of chimney balloons. A chimney balloon is a bed pillow size (and shape) balloon that you inflate inside the chimney flu of fire places that are not in use and it seals them up effectively and neatly.

Chimney balloons are a bit of a novice and simple idea but the most the effective idea's usually are. They come in a variety of sizes and prices so give us a call or visit our website for more info.

Galvanised wire rope sash cords

One of our handymen is replacing sash cords for a customer in N4 today. Changing sash cords is a basic task for a Silver Saint and probably not blog worthy but today's job is replacing sash cords on some of the heaviest sash windows we have encountered, so heavy that even the thickest sash cord breaks after 3 months under the windows weight.

The solution is to replace the sash cords with galvanized wire rope. Much thinner than sash cord but much stronger and it also gives the sash window a surprisingly luxurious feel when they are opened and closed. Originally we did this job about 9 months for customer that was so impressed he recommended us to all of his neighbours who have the same windows and thus the same problem and one of those neighbours has booked us in for today.

What better time than the start of summer to have your sash windows working as they should.

For most other windows normal sash cords will suffice and we offer a fixed price for replacing sash cords:

Replace one inner sash window cord - £65+VAT
Replace one outer sash window cord - £75+VAT
Replace both inner sash window cords - £75+VAT
Replace both outer sash window cords - £95+VAT
