• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler

We are going to replace failed double glazing units. Someone mentioned that you can get them repaired. Is it cost effective or is it better in the short /longer term just to replace the entire upvc units with en trend things. Advice gratefully accepted.

Sometimes they can be repaired, or you can replace the unit of glass and retain the frames. Repair is relatively cheap but no idea how effective sorry

Thank you, seal seems to have gone as there is condensation inside the glazing. We were going to have grey upvc but no idea when that will happen so right now it will be replacement glass or repair if possible. Where to get them done?

I had a couple of windows replaced a couple of years ago by MPN windows, did a good job there are probably cheaper options around though

A distant relative of ours from Glynneath did ours.
He did a fantastic job too.

They look like they do good installations, can they do repairs?

To be fair, Glynneath isn't that distant from Baglan if you know which road to take.

This happened to one of my windows and I just replaced the double glazed units. £30 for two new units. It was done by a relative though so I couldn't tell you if that's mates rates or not, I assume so as it seems cheap
