Most of Hoodi and Brookefield went up inside the same few years. So the fittings in it are all wearing out inside the same few years too. That is why our repair calls from here come in groups. Door closers on offices of a certain age. Shower hinges in towers of a certain age. It is easy to predict. And what you can predict is cheap to fix, if you catch it early.
Catching it before it becomes a replacement
A door closer that has started to leak oil still works, badly, for months before it stops. A shower hinge that has started to rust still holds the door, until it does not.
Both are cheap parts while the rest is still sound. Once the glass has dropped and chipped an edge, or the silicone has failed behind the tiles, you are buying the whole thing.
So if a door is slamming or a shower door is dragging, send a photo now, not in six months. We will tell you honestly if it can wait.
What we bring on the first visit
Our van carries the common door closers, hinges, clamps, rollers and handles. So we finish most repairs here the first time we come.
We do this on purpose. A second trip for a part costs you another day and another gate pass.
Send a photo. For anything that moves, send a short video. That usually tells us the fault before anyone travels. If a less common part is needed, we quote it and come back once it arrives, usually within a few working days.
Adjusting uPVC balcony doors and windows in Hoodi and Brookefield
A uPVC balcony door is heavy, and it can settle by a few millimetres. The handle will not lift, and the lock misses its catch. A gap opens at one corner and lets dust in. It feels like three faults, but it is usually one.
So we check the door sits square before we price any part. We set its rollers or hinges, then adjust the catches on the frame. Rollers are the small wheels a sliding door runs on.
The same check works on a sliding window in a tower flat. Hoodi and Brookefield towers also ask us for mosquito nets. On a sliding window the net runs in a spare channel of the same track. For the balcony, a mesh door slides on its own track beside the glass.
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.
