General window maintenance

Our homes have a variety of window styles and locking mechanisms. Here are some points to bear in mind.

Every window in your new home has a lock except the fire escape window. Keep trickle vents open and windows locked in a part-open position when possible. An easy-clean system can be adjusted to help you clean the glass.

To ensure your windows open and close smoothly, follow a simple maintenance routine. This includes regularly running a damp cloth inside the frame and along drain holes, hinges and sliding tracks. Regularly oil all moving parts using 3-in-1 oil or spray.

Warranty peace of mind

Feel secure in the knowledge that our homes come with a two-year Persimmon Homes warranty and in years three to 10 you’re covered by an NHBC/LABC warranty. Warranties on appliances can be set up straight away and registered directly with the manufacturer. Remember to service your boiler before the end of the first 12 months to maintain the second year of your warranty.

Our sales team is on hand via email or phone to help you, and our customer care team is available to offer support during and after your settling-in period.
