What Is a Window Hack Out?

A window hack out involves carefully removing old putty, sealant, glazing compound, damaged glass or loose panes from an existing frame before the window is reglazed.

It is often used for older windows where the glass is held in place by ageing putty or deteriorated glazing materials.

If your window does not need a full hack out, resealing may be a suitable option. We can assess the window and recommend the most practical repair method.
