Repairs out here are usually quick, and the reason is dull but real. The van parks at the door, the buildings are low, and nothing has to be carried far. So the only question left is whether we brought the right part. And that is a question you can answer for us on the phone.
Fittings finish today, glass does not
The van carries the common hinges, rollers, seals, clamps, handles and door closers. Anything that bolts on is changed while we are there.
Glass cannot be. Toughened glass (safety glass) is cut and drilled first, then toughened. So yours is made to your size and fitted on a second visit. Nobody keeps your size in stock.
When a panel is broken, we make the opening safe on the first visit. Nothing is left sharp or hanging while the new glass is made.
What goes wrong in these houses
Shower doors are the most common call. Seals harden, rollers wear flat, hinges go loose, roughly in that order.
After that it is stair and balcony railing panels, which take knocks from furniture, and window glass in the older villas.
Railing glass is the one thing we replace rather than adjust. A chip on the edge removes the strength that toughening gave the panel. A railing is the wrong place to find that out.
Mosquito nets for a whole Jakkur house, measured in one visit
Mosquitoes in Bengaluru are worst during the rains and just after them. So the best time to fit a mosquito net is before the monsoon arrives in June.
A villa or house in Jakkur or Sahakar Nagar has many windows. We walk through and measure every one on the same visit. Each window gets the mesh that suits it. A sliding window takes a sliding net. A window on hinges takes a hinged or fixed one. A wide opening to a balcony or terrace can take a sliding or pleated net door.
While we are there, we can look at the windows themselves. We repair aluminium and uPVC windows that stick, will not lock or let in dust.
