Hi all,
we are nearing completion on the purchase of our first home. Old 2 storey farmhouse in Kerry - delightful baptism of fire (!) and we are trying to prioritise the works needed.

House has a small conservatory to the front - structually sound but approx. 60 -70% of all glass panels (side windows & small top windows) have water inside them :eek:

While we joke about our 'fishtank water feature' we would like to treat the windows temporarily to improve the look until we can replace fully.

I have heard of process of drilling 2 small holes (top & bottom) with a diamond drill bit,cleansing solution forced through to remove water staining etc and plugging the holes.

Does anyone know of Irish company doing this (and that would be insured in the event of the glass shattering!)?
We know its only a temporary measure, we just want to improve aesthetics until we can afford to repace (4yrs time by looks of things).

Thanks!
 
I would imagine replacing the broken down double glazed units would be cheaper than trying to have them repaired.
 
Cheaper to temporarily service them and then replace fully when we rebuild the conservatory (seems madness replacing them now and again in 4 - 5 years we we get to that phase of the house!)

Found this company since, so hoping they may be able to assist: [broken link removed]
Anybody have any experience with them?

(PS: as before -we KNOW this is only a temporary measure, looking for a short term aesthetic improvement)
