In the world of high-rise window repairs and maintenance, safety, expertise, and reliability aren’t just expectations—they’re imperatives. At Mila Maintenance, we understand the gravity of these responsibilities. This article delves into how our company stands as a beacon of trust and efficiency in the industry.
Our Commitment to Excellence
Mila Maintenance isn’t just a service provider; we’re your partners in ensuring the safety and longevity of your building’s windows. Here’s how we ensure unparalleled service:
Industry-Leading Certifications
- FENSA: FENSA is a government-authorised scheme that monitors building regulation compliance for replacement windows and doors. FENSA’s mission is to improve window and door replacements across England and Wales, by professionalising installers and protecting homeowners.Because a window or door is a “controlled fitting” under the building regulations you must either use a company registered on a competent person scheme who can certify their own work or get separate building regulations approval from Building Control. Remember Installation companies can only self-certify replacement glazing work in buildings less than 18 metres high (approximately 6 or 7 floors). No Self-Certification in Buildings higher than 18 metres (approximately 6 or 7 floors).
Even if your building is above 18m and will require Building Control approval for window replacements, Membership of a competent person scheme is still evidence that you have selected competent contractors.
- Glass and Glazing Federation Membership: The Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) represents companies that make, supply or fit, glass and glazing products in the UK and internationally. Being the industry authority, the GGF promotes best practice and sets the highest technical and health and safety standards. They support Mila with expert advice and Technical support helping us to deal with hardest projects. Their technical news is useful for ensuring we are aware of upcoming changes in legislation and can plan for them. Their best practice guides on installation and repairs are a useful training resource for our engineers.

It also serves as a tangible audit trail, showcasing safety precautions undertaken. Finally, the report proposes potential enhancements for the windows.
Adjust (A): Preventing Small Issues from Becoming Major Ones
The emphasis here is on proactive care. Windows require continual small adjustments to windows and regular lubrication. This prevents minor issues from spiraling into bigger, costlier problems. Guarding against more significant repairs and, worst case, complete window replacements.

Our approach to fixing is straightforward and effective. Once a problem is identified, our team ensures it’s repaired efficiently. We prioritise the safety and functionality of the windows and doors to uphold the comfort and security of our residents.

Enhancements go beyond mere fixes. It could involve elevating ventilation to combat issues like mould or damp. Or escalating the energy efficiency of windows. Or upgrading security features. In every enhancement action, the objective is to boost the existing functionality. Enhancements may also prolong the lifespan of your installations.
