Because so much here is new, the repair work is different from the rest of the city. It is rarely twenty years of wear. It is a panel chipped when the flat was handed over. Or a door that was hung but never adjusted. Or a shower fitted by whoever finished the flat, and never sealed right. All of those are worth putting right early, not living with.
Handover damage, and why a chip matters
It is better to replace a chipped or cracked toughened panel than to wait. Damage to the edge takes away the strength that toughening gives the glass. Toughened glass does not crack slowly. When it goes, it goes fully.
On a stair railing, or a full-height panel beside a walkway, that is not a chance worth taking.
If the damage happened at handover, take a photo before anything is moved. It is much easier to raise with a builder while the site office is still there than a year later.
Doors that were hung but never set
A very common call here is a door that drifts open, will not shut, or catches on the floor from the day it was fitted.
That is almost never the glass. It is a floor spring that was never adjusted, a pivot out of line, or a track that was not set level before the door went on.
Setting it right is usually a short visit. Send a short video of the door moving and we can normally tell you what it is before anyone travels. That is quicker for you, and cheaper than a call-out just to look at it.

- We call you backUsually the same day. Where we can, we give you a rough price on the call. Then you know if a visit is worth your time.
- We come and measureWe measure the opening. We also check the walls, floor, ceiling and the way in. Your glass is made to these final sizes, so they must be right.
