I would wait and not try anything till you have had a word with your insurance company or try talking to trading standards - the window cleaner should have insurance so ask him about that - go on be bold, if you can't look him in the eye, stand on his toes!! I can understand you being upset and I would too, and certainly wouldn't let him get away with it. Good luck.

All very well to say stop worrying and claim on insurance Bob but I don't want to have to pay £250 excess for the claim and lose 10 years no claims discount on the buildings insurance - so I'd rather try all these possible remedies first.

Stop worrying Get a glazier to quote for a replacement Claim on your insurance and insist on new glass That's why you have insurance Merry Christmas Bob

worth trying your buildings insurers. Ann Glos

Try metal polish. The stuff on wadding - Duraglit is especially good at getting scratches out of watch glass. It could work on windows. Any metal polish is good for getting scratches out of plastic baths too - just thought I'd throw that in! Hope you get it sorted. Mags xx

on my way....ill chin him big old nasty bully.... 2 sugars plz hun xx

Your welcome Emma and I will thank 'young and handsome' too. Though I did give him his Christmas present this morning lol:))

Just another thought could you claim for it on buildings insurance? Give them a ring and explain -you may get a professional sent to sort it for you. Good luck Diane :)

Thanks Jess and Diane, Anything's worth getting to try - but don't think the deep ones will be hidden with anything. Still if I can get rid of lots of small ones it might not look so bad. You can't have owt new and nice for two minutes can you. Em

Hi Emma, I would try Hobrite -I use it on my gas fire glass.Its made for ceramic & halogen cookers-I think it costs about £2.70. Hope you manage to sort it. Diane :))

would T cut be worth a go? (i guess antyhing would be worth a go) Jess

Scratches are about half and half. Some you can feel the goudge (sp) out of the glass but others you can see but not feel. There's about 25 different areas in total across the doors and the windows either side of the doors.

You're forgiven Harry for that terrible joke! Thanks- will make a note incase toothpaste doesn't work. x

Forgive me. He sounds like a pane in the (gl)ass. Motoring shops used to sell scratch remover, bur whether it works..... Happy days

Thanks so much all you guys - been and had a cry - 'cos I'm a big softy and don't like been shouted out. This guys about 6 1/2 foot so was towering over me. Phoned a couple of glazing companies and have been told that if there really shallow scratches they should polish out but anything you can feel with your finger nail won't come out - will need new glass. Haven't been out yet to feel them but will let you know. Think I'll need half a dozen tubes of toothpaste to try your trick Paul but I'll try it on a couple first and see what happens - fingers crossed. Chrissie - thank you so much for doing that - so very kind of you!! And thank your handsome young fella for me too ;-) Thanks for the support Steedie - he's still on the estate now if you want to bomb up the road and help me knee cap him - nice cuppa tea and a biccie after!! Thanks all, Em xx

lol This reminds me of something funny, my friend jsut got out of her shower once, and only had a towel around her, the towell dropped, and the window cleaner gave her an OTT wave through the window! :-)))

well when hes next due how about you let me know and ill come and have a cup of tea with you...then when mr big comes over ill tell him exactly what i think of him and he will NOT be shouting back xxxx

Gosh Chrissie - I'd even leave the curtains open lol ;O)

I know Anne - He's handsome and charming as well as being a brilliant window cleaner. He wipes the ledges too:))

let me know if my remedy works. :p
