Repair work here is home work: a cracked stair railing panel, a window broken by a knock, a shower enclosure whose hinges have finally gone. What makes it different from the same job elsewhere is the access. Everything comes up the stairs by hand. So a new panel has to be planned around the staircase before it is cut.
Why the replacement panel gets measured twice
We measure the opening, and then we measure the way up to it.
A panel that fits your window perfectly well may not turn the half landing below it. Toughened glass cannot be cut down on site. If that is going to be a problem, we have to know before the order goes in.
Where the way up will not take one piece, we look at whether the opening can honestly be built as two. Sometimes it can and sometimes it cannot. We will tell you which, rather than promise and fail.
Railings, and the risk of leaving a crack
A chipped or cracked toughened panel is worth replacing, not watching. Toughened glass is safety glass. Damage to the edge takes away its strength, and it does not crack slowly first.
On a stair railing in a house with children, that is not a risk worth taking.
A new panel comes with us taking the old one away. Where we cannot fit the new one the same day, we make the opening safe on the first visit. We come back once the glass is made.
How the job works
- Tell us about the jobSend a few photos, rough sizes and what you need. Use WhatsApp or the form. For a repair, a short video of the door moving helps a lot.
- 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.
- You get a written priceIt shows the glass, the fittings and the fitting work as separate lines. If anything about the job changes, we tell you before we go ahead.
- We make it and fit itYou approve the price and pay the advance. Then we make your glass. Our team delivers it, fits it, checks the doors line up and clears the site.
