uPVC door and window repairs in Bulkington
Bulkington is a few miles from our base, close enough that a single door is worth the trip. We look first and agree the price in writing before anything is changed.
What this covers
A lot of Bulkington was built in stages: speculative housing from the thirties, then the suburban estates that grew around the village in the sixties. Most of those houses have long since had their doors and windows replaced, and the replacements are now old enough to wear.
If a door or window is still under its installer’s guarantee, tell us first, so nothing we do affects it.
Common jobs
- Doors that have dropped, catch on the frame or need lifting to lock
- uPVC door lock problems: the handle will not lift, the key will not turn
- Worn gearboxes and multi-point lock strips, matched and replaced
- Broken or loose hinges and handles, on doors and windows
- Windows that will not close or lock, worn stays and friction hinges
- Misted glass units replaced in the existing frame
Doors and windows of the same age
Where a street went up at once, its doors and windows were often replaced at once too. The same lock, the same hinges and the same seals tend to wear out within a few years of each other. If a neighbour has just had a door lock or a misted unit sorted, yours may be close behind.
Because those replacements often came from installers who are no longer trading, the guarantee has usually run out and nobody is coming back to service them. That is the work we do.
Around Church Street
The area around St James’ Church and Church Street is a conservation area. Repairing a door or window like for like is rarely a problem. Anything that changes how the front of a house looks can need checking with Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council first, and where we think that applies we say so at the visit.
Small jobs are welcome
One stiff lock or one misted pane is a proper job for us here. If there are a few things on the list, a door, a window handle, a sticking patio door, it is often simplest to look at them all on one visit.
We visit before we quote
A photo shows the style of door. It does not show whether the gearbox, the hinges or the frame is the problem, and that decides the price. We look first, explain what we found, and the quote follows in writing. The visit and the written quote are free, and there is no obligation.
Also worth knowing
Our workmanship is guaranteed for twenty-four months. That covers the fitting and the hanging. Exterior paintwork, stains and sealant are guaranteed for twelve months. The product itself, whoever supplies it, is covered by the manufacturer’s own guarantee. If a product does fail, we handle the manufacturer claim for you at no charge.
We work Monday to Thursday. Friday is our office day, kept for quotes, ordering parts and answering people.
We are based in Nuneaton and work across Bulkington, Shilton and the villages between, out across Warwickshire and into Leicestershire and Coventry. If you are not sure whether we come to you, just ask. See Where we work.
