Doors, Windows and Locks: Secure, Smooth and Draught Free

Locks and security

Lock changes and upgrades to insurance rated British Standard cylinders and mortice locks, the specification most home policies quietly require. Snapped key extraction, seized mechanisms, additional locks for HMO room doors, window locks, and full suite changes when keys go missing. For landlords, changing locks between tenancies is cheap certainty about exactly who holds keys, and we run it as a routine void period service.

uPVC and composite door repairs

The uPVC door that drags, will not lift to lock, or needs a shoulder in cold weather is usually suffering failed hinges, worn gearboxes or simple misalignment, all repairable at a fraction of replacement. We realign, replace multipoint mechanisms, hinges, handles, cylinders and seals, and the door goes back to closing with a fingertip. The same goes for composite and timber doors, eased, rehung and refitted with proper draught seals.

Windows and misted glass

When double glazing fogs between the panes, the sealed unit has failed, not the whole window. We replace just the glass unit, keeping your frames, which is faster and far cheaper than new windows. We also repair hinges, handles and restrictors, free painted shut sashes, renew putty and beading, and draught proof the rattling offenders before winter, work that pairs naturally with our exterior decorating.

For landlords, agents and blocks

Beyond lock changes, we handle the security jobs that fill management inboxes: doors slamming or failing to close in communal areas, closers adjusted as part of communal maintenance, letterboxes, spyholes and chains fitted, and boarding up with same visit glazing measures after break ins. Every job is photographed and reported for your file.
