Ulsoor gives us the widest mix of repair work of anywhere we cover. The buildings are old and the uses are mixed. A shower enclosure rusted through in a flat. A showroom door on the main road that has started to slam. A cracked railing panel in a house that has been added to twice. We measure, make and fit all of it the same way.
Railings and old window glass
The houses here bring work that flats do not. Stair railing panels, fixed screens at an entrance, and window glass broken by weather or a knock.
A chipped or cracked toughened panel is worth replacing, not watching. Damage to the edge takes away the strength that toughening gives the glass. Toughened glass does not crack slowly. When it breaks, it breaks completely.
On a stair railing in an old house, that is not a risk worth taking. When we replace glass, we take the old panel away. If we cannot fit the same day, we make the opening safe on the first visit.
Shop and showroom doors on the main road
A door on Ulsoor Main Road is opened hundreds of times a day. The floor spring that controls it wears out.
When it starts to slam, drift open or catch on the floor, that is the part, not the glass. Changing one is usually a two to three hour visit. Our van carries the common closers, clamps and handles.
We work before you open or after you close. If a part must be replaced, we fit one made for the weight of the door and the use it gets. Not the lightest one that will go on.
Close an Ulsoor repair with a movement check
After adjustment or a new part, the door must travel freely, close without a slam and place its lock onto the catch without lifting. We repeat that cycle with the person receiving the job. A replaced closer is not the result by itself; controlled movement and secure closing are the result.
Rattling windows, road noise and mosquito nets in Ulsoor
A window that buzzes when a bus passes usually has tired rubber. The rubber is the soft strip that holds the glass in an aluminium window. Sun makes it hard, and it shrinks away from the corners. We pull the old strip out and fit new rubber all round.
Road noise also gets past the brush seals on a sliding window. Those thin bristle strips flatten with age, so we fit new ones. For a bedroom on a busy Ulsoor road, we can also fit double glazing. That means two panes of glass with a sealed gap between them.
Homes around Halasuru and Ulsoor Lake ask us for mosquito nets too. Each net is a mesh panel in its own slim frame, made for one opening. It fits an aluminium or uPVC window as it is.
