Window repairs and safety

It is important that windows are kept well maintained and that you understand window safety issues.

Window repairs

If your windows are defective in any way, including the window restrictors or window handles, you must report any faults to us immediately on 0800 188 4000 or 0113 376 0410.

We treat all window repairs as a priority.

Window safety

To ensure your windows are safe for you and others, and to help prevent serious accidents that could lead to a death, you should:

  • think about where you put your furniture or other items that can be climbed on and be aware of the risks to young children if this can’t be avoided
  • never leave young children alone and unsupervised when there are open windows they could access and potentially fall out of
  • check window restrictors are in place and working for all accessible windows over 3 storeys that are not protected by a balcony or walkway on the other side
  • re-engage the window restrictor after you have opened the window for ventilation and check that they are working

Never attempt to alter or remove the restrictors or paint over your windows.
