A lot of BTM housing was fitted out fast and cheap when it was built. The parts that were going to wear out have now worn out. That is most of our repair work here. Sliding shower doors off their track. Hinges rusted through. And on the main roads, shop doors whose floor springs have given up.
Why a sliding shower door leaves its track
A sliding shower door runs on small wheels, called rollers, inside a track. When it starts to catch, jump or come off, it is nearly always the rollers or the track. Sometimes the track was never set level when it went in.
We check the level before we put anything back. Put a door back on a track that is not level and it slides open on its own and comes off again within months.
Where rollers or a track need changing, we match them to the weight of the door. Not the lightest part that will fit. That is usually why it failed the first time.
Shop doors on 16th Main and Madiwala
A shop door on these roads is opened far more often than an office door. The floor spring that controls it wears out over time.
When it starts to slam, slide open or catch on the floor, that is the spring, not the glass. Changing one is usually a two to three hour visit. Our van carries the common closers, clamps and handles.
We work before you open or after you close. A door repair fits easily into a morning. We would rather start early than shut your shop at midday.
Torn mosquito nets and stiff window handles in BTM Layout
A torn mosquito net does very little. Mosquitoes find the hole, and they are worst in and after the rains. If the aluminium frame of the net is still sound, you do not need a new one. We pull out the old mesh and fit new mesh in the same frame. Where a window has no net at all, we measure it and make one.
A window that will not lock is a different repair. On a uPVC window the handle turns a gear that locks the window at several points. When the handle spins freely or jams, the window stays unlocked. We check the handle and the gear, and change only the failed part.
In BTM Layout we also repair an aluminium window that sticks or lets in rain.
