Repair work here splits by street. On Gandhi Bazaar and DVG Road it is entrance doors that have been opened a few million times. One street back it is house glass: a cracked railing panel, a broken window, an enclosure whose hinges have rusted. The delivery is the same problem for both. These roads are narrow and busy from early morning.
Getting to you on a market street
The roads around Gandhi Bazaar are narrow, one-way in places, and full from first light. A long van standing there becomes a problem within minutes.
So we come early, unload at once and move off. Then the panels go by hand. This is also why the staircase turn matters for anything upstairs.
For a repair this is usually simple, because we carry parts, not glass. It is the new panel, when one is needed, that has to be planned around the street.
Old fittings and what is still available
Some of the door parts in these buildings have not been made for years. That is not a problem. We use standard fittings you can buy in the Indian market, and they suit most glass doors here. We match what the part does, not the exact part number.
Where something truly cannot be matched, we say so and quote another option, rather than fit something that almost works.
Send a photo of the door and the fittings before we come. On old parts a photo is worth more than any words. It means the right parts are on the van the first time.
Mosquito nets made to each window of an old Basavanagudi house
An old house rarely has two windows the same size. So we measure every opening before a mosquito net is made. Each mesh frame is made for its own window. It slides, opens or stays fixed, whichever keeps the window in use. Fit them before June, when the rains bring the mosquitoes.
An old aluminium window is usually worth repairing. We change the rollers, the small wheels a sliding window runs on. We renew the rubber that holds the glass, so the pane stops rattling. Where the frame has failed, we fit a new aluminium or uPVC window. Facing DVG Road, a uPVC window with double glazing also cuts traffic noise.
We do not repair wooden frames, because we do not do carpentry. A mosquito net can still go over one, fixed to the wall or the frame.
