Almost everything here is recent, so the repairs are first-year faults rather than wear. Those follow a pattern: things that were fine at handover fail in the first monsoon or the first winter, because that is when a building is genuinely tested for the first time. Knowing what to expect makes them cheap to deal with.
What the first monsoon finds
Rain is the first real test of a new building, and it finds the same things every year: unsealed gaps where a frame meets the wall, drainage slots blocked with construction dust, and sealant applied to a dusty surface that never bonded.
All three are cheap to put right and all three cause a leak that looks alarming.
So if a new window leaks in its first rains, it is usually a finishing defect rather than a faulty window. We check those three before suggesting anything is replaced, and it is nearly always one of them.
What the first winter finds
Cold weather shows up gaps rather than leaks. A door that was fitted in summer can bind or gap as the frame moves, and condensation appears on any single-glazed pane.
Condensation on the inside of a window is not a fault — it is warm damp air meeting cold glass, and it means the room needs ventilation more than the window needs replacing.
What is worth fixing is a door that no longer closes properly, since that gap is both draught and security. That is usually an adjustment rather than a replacement.
Getting materials to a site this far out
Narela is a distance from most suppliers, so anything unusual has a longer lead time here than in the middle of the city.
That is worth knowing when planning rather than discovering when waiting.
So we tell you at quoting which items are stock and which have to be brought specially, and we would rather specify a widely available component than a marginally better one that takes a week to arrive. For repairs, availability is usually worth more than specification.
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 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.
