The glass in these towers is mostly new, so it is rarely worn out. It is a builder-fitted enclosure that leaks, a door that was never set straight, or a seal fitted the wrong way round. Some of that is ours to fix. Some is the builder's, and we will tell you which.
Some of this you should not be paying for
If the flat is still inside its snag or defect period, a leaking enclosure or a crooked door is the builder's to put right.
We will say so. It is a short talk and it saves you money. We would rather you called us for the next job than felt cheated on this one.
Where that period has passed, or the builder will not act, the same faults are quick for us to fix. We quote them plainly.
The three faults we see most in new flats
A seal fitted the wrong way round, so it sends water outwards instead of back into the enclosure. That is a fifteen minute fix.
A door hung slightly crooked, so it does not meet the seal along its whole length. That is an adjustment at the hinges.
And fixings put into hollow walls with the wrong plug. That is why an enclosure only two years old already feels loose. That one needs redoing properly, and it is worth doing before the glass starts rubbing against metal.
Balcony sliding doors, uPVC doors and nets in Hennur towers
The balcony door is the biggest moving piece of glass in most flats. When a sliding door gets heavy or jumps its track, we check the rollers first. Those are the wheels that carry the weight of the door. We also check the track and the guides at the top.
A uPVC door is heavy, and it can settle by a few millimetres. Then the handle will not lift and the lock misses. That usually needs adjusting, not a new lock.
In the towers on Hennur Main Road and Thanisandra Main Road, every window can take a mosquito net. A sliding mesh door can also run beside the balcony glass. So the glass stays open in the evening, and the mosquitoes stay out.
