A lot of the glass here went in with the house. Whole villa projects were handed over with the same enclosure, the same hinges and the same seals. All of it was fitted in the same year. So when the fittings wear out, they wear out across the whole project, not one house at a time.
Why your neighbour has the same fault
Builder-fitted enclosures use whatever part was chosen for the whole project. And every one of them has been opened about the same number of times.
So the seals harden together, and the rollers wear flat together. If your shower door has started dragging, the same door in the next house is probably a month behind yours.
That is useful. Where several houses in a block need the same part, we can do them all in one trip. Ask your neighbours before you call. It usually means a faster date for everyone.
What we can and cannot match
Hinges, rollers, seals and handles are common types, and we normally match them exactly.
Where the original part is no longer made, we fit a current one rated for the same glass thickness and door weight. It will not always look the same. We tell you that before we fit it, not after.
What we do not do is patch a chipped panel. Damage to the edge of toughened glass (safety glass) takes away the strength that toughening gave it. So that panel gets replaced.
Mosquito net doors and window repairs for villas and houses
A villa or a house has wide openings to a balcony or a terrace. Those are the hard ones to net, so we begin there. A pleated mosquito net folds to one side and needs no swing space. A sliding mesh door runs on its own track beside a sliding door. Which one suits depends on the opening, so we decide at the measuring visit.
The windows come next. We walk through your Yelahanka house window by window on one visit. A sliding window that drags gets new rollers, the wheels it runs on. A uPVC window that will not lock usually needs its shutter aligned, not a new handle. An aluminium window with loose glass gets new rubber.
We also fit new windows and double glazing when a house is being finished.
