Repairs & servicing in Hackney Wick

The housing in Hackney Wick is largely converted warehouses, canalside apartments and new-build flats. Doors on modern homes that have dropped or become hard to lock usually need hinge and keep adjustment, which is quicker and less disruptive than replacing the door.

In flats, check whether windows and doors are your responsibility or the freeholder's under the lease before booking repairs, especially for communal entrances. On Victorian homes with older uPVC sashes or casements, replacing worn hinges and seals can often cure draughts without disturbing the frames or decoration.

Nearly every home here is a flat, so the first step is approval from the freeholder or managing agent, and we prepare the technical details they ask for. Tight canalside access is planned at the survey. The Wick is about 4.6 miles from our Edmonton factory.

We repair windows and doors of most types, including replacing misted glass units, faulty locks, handles, hinges and worn seals. Repairs suit homeowners, landlords and businesses whose frames are basically sound but not working properly, and can be a sensible alternative to full replacement.

• Replaces misted or broken glass units
• Fixes sticking, dropped or draughty doors
• Extends the life of sound frames
