The buildings here are old enough that most of what breaks is a part, not the glass. Hinges that have gone loose, rollers worn flat, seals gone hard, a window in a frame that has shifted. All of it is normal for buildings this old, and most of it is one visit.
Tell us the floor before we load the van
Access here is the thing that turns a short job into a long one.
There is often no lift. Where there is one, it will not take a panel. So the number of people we send depends on which floor you are on and whether anything must be carried up.
A fitting change needs one person and a bag. A new panel on the fourth floor needs three. Telling us the floor when you call stops us arriving short-handed.
What usually turns out to be wrong
On a shower, in this order: the seal has hardened, the rollers have worn, or the hinges have dropped. All three can be replaced without touching the glass.
On a window, it is usually the frame, not the glass. Old aluminium frames lose their rubber gasket, and the pane starts to rattle long before it ever cracks.
We check the fitting first. We only quote for glass if the glass is really the problem. It is a shorter talk and usually a much smaller bill.
Sliding windows that drag and uPVC handles that spin
A sliding window that needs a shove has usually worn out its rollers. Rollers are the small wheels the window runs on. We change them on aluminium and uPVC windows, and we clean the track they run in.
On a uPVC window the fault is often at the handle. It turns, but the lock inside does not move. We check how the window sits first. A window that has dropped can make a good handle feel broken.
A mosquito net wears out too, in RT Nagar as anywhere. If the net frame is still straight, we fit new mesh into it. Do this before the rains, because mosquitoes are worst then.
How the job works

- 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.
