Fitting an enclosure in a Bellandur tower is half a glass job and half a delivery job. The bathroom itself is simple. Getting a toughened panel from a vehicle at the gate up to a twentieth floor flat is not. It needs a gate pass, a booked service lift and the association's working hours. The lift may also not take a panel over a certain length.
The lift comes first
This is the most important thing about working in these towers. A service lift has a fixed inside size. A panel that will not go into it will not go up the fire stairs either.
So we measure the lift as well as the bathroom, on the same visit. When one panel is too big to go up, we make the enclosure as two panels joined with a glass connector. That is completely normal, and hard to see from a few feet away.
What we will not do is send a delivery to a lift it cannot fit in. A made-to-size toughened panel fits nowhere else.
Old flat or newly redone flat
The towers here range from fairly new to about twenty years old. That decides the style, not taste.
In a bathroom that has just been re-tiled, frameless is the right answer and looks better. In an old bathroom in an older tower, the walls have usually moved a few millimetres. A slim aluminium frame takes that up inside the channel, where frameless cannot.
We check with a level at the measuring visit, against your real walls. We do not sell the dearer option by default.
The paperwork, which we handle
A gate pass, worker IDs, a service lift booking, and the association's working hours. Most blocks here want it a day ahead, and a few need the flat owner to apply in person.
We arrange all of it as part of the job. Give us the tower name at the first call. One call to the facility desk tells us the lift size and the hours.
That one call is what turns this from a job that might slip into one with a firm date.
How the job works
- Tell us about the jobSend a few photos, rough sizes and what you need. Use WhatsApp or the form. For a repair, a short video of the door moving helps a lot.
- We call you back in about 2 minutesWe confirm what you need and a time to visit. Where we can, we give you a rough price on the call.
- We come and measureWe measure the opening and check the walls, floor and ceiling around it. Anything made to size is made to these measurements, so they must be right.
- You get a written priceIt lists each item, with GST as its own line. If anything about the job changes, we tell you before we go ahead.
- We fit itYou approve the price and pay the advance. Our own team fits the work, checks that every door and window opens and closes properly, and clears up. Most jobs are done in 3 to 4 days.
