Balcony Window Scratch Repair - New Build Development, Wood Green

A balcony window in a new flat at a Wood Green development was scratched during cleaning before the final inspection. This is a common issue on construction sites where windows get damaged during the cleaning process. Rather than replacing the entire window unit and delaying handover, we restored the glass to pristine condition, allowing the development to complete on schedule.

Project Details

The balcony window of a new flat in this Wood Green new build had been scratched during cleaning before final inspection. This type of damage is frustratingly common on construction sites, where cleaning contractors sometimes use abrasive materials or techniques that damage the glass surface. For developers and contractors, scratched windows before handover present a difficult choice: replace the entire window unit (expensive and time-consuming) or attempt to hand over with visible damage (unacceptable quality standards). Our glass restoration service offers a third option that solves the problem quickly and cost-effectively. We assessed the damage and determined it could be fully repaired using our specialist techniques. Working efficiently to avoid delaying the project schedule, we used progressive sanding with diamond abrasives to remove the scratched surface layer. Each stage employed finer grades to eliminate previous marks, finishing with precision polishing that restored the glass to factory-new clarity. The window now meets the quality standards required for final inspection and handover. The repair was completed without the cost of replacement, the disruption of removing and refitting a window unit, or any delays to the construction schedule. This is exactly the kind of practical solution that keeps developments moving forward.
