Repairs & servicing in Hampstead Garden Suburb

The housing in Hampstead Garden Suburb is largely Arts and Crafts houses, cottages and early 20th-century flats. Larger homes often have several doors and windows with similar faults, so booking one visit to deal with them together saves repeated call-outs.

In flats, check whether windows and doors are your responsibility or the freeholder's under the lease before booking repairs, especially for communal entrances. For period properties, repairing rather than replacing existing windows can avoid planning complications, particularly where original features are expected to be retained.

Before any work, the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust usually needs to give consent, and the area is a conservation area under Barnet Council. We review the Trust's design guidance with you at survey, so drawings and quotes are prepared with approval in mind.

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 worn locks, hinges and handles
