Window hinge replacement

Hannibal_12

Hi,

I have two windows in my top floor apartment that aren’t closing properly and as a result are letting in cold air. I live there solo so not overly concerned but I imagine as winter creeps in it will get very cold. The heaters are archaic storage heaters which may or may not work to make matters worse.

I was looking at replacing the (top opening )hinges, got a few preliminary quotes and I think I’d be looking at 300+ euros for 4 hinges. I was thinking of doing it myself given the cost but if someone would know anyone that would do it then happy to hear suggestions.

Thanks

Hi - as this is an apartment and the windows likely open into a public area or directly over other people's property then you should engage the landlord and their maintenance company to carry out the repairs. Was it though them that you obtained the quote for the repairs already?
