Malleshwaram has changed less than most of the city, and that shapes our work here. The houses on the numbered crosses have been in the same families for a long time. The shops on Sampige Road and Margosa Road have traded for decades. The buildings have settled. The streets are narrow and busy from early morning. So every job here starts with finding where the vehicle will park.
Settled buildings, and what that means for the glass
A house that has stood for forty or fifty years has moved. The walls lean a little, the floor is not level, and openings are wider at one end than the other.
Frameless glass has almost no room for that. A gap shows along the edge, and a door may need packing to close properly.
A slim aluminium frame has that room in the channel. It usually costs a little less on a simple run, and it hides a lot. Where a bathroom has just been fully re-tiled, frameless is the better looking answer again. We check with a level at the measuring visit.
Delivering onto a Malleshwaram cross
The crosses are narrow, parked on both sides, and busy from early morning because of the markets and temples.
So we deliver early, unload straight away and move the vehicle off. Panels then go up by hand, and the turn in the staircase sets the largest panel we can carry.
Tell us the cross number and which floor you are on when you first get in touch. It sounds like a small thing. It is the difference between a job that runs to plan and a delivery that has to go back.
The shops on Sampige Road
The shop work here is doors, front glass and display panels, for shops that have traded a long time and will not close for a week.
A shop door on a street this busy is opened hundreds of times a day. So it goes on a floor spring made for that, with a lock and handle to match.
We work before you open or after you close. A door repair fits into a morning. A full front takes a day. We board and cover the gap overnight so the inside stays safe.
