Repairs & servicing in Shoreditch

The housing in Shoreditch is largely warehouse conversions, Georgian terraces and modern apartment blocks. For period properties, repairing rather than replacing existing windows can avoid planning complications, particularly where original features are expected to be retained.

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. For landlords and businesses, prompt repairs to locks, broken glass and faulty doors help keep properties secure and reduce disruption for tenants and staff.

Noise is a real issue here, from Old Street and Great Eastern Street traffic to late-night bars, so we often recommend acoustic glazing for bedrooms. Access is the other challenge: parking is very limited, and many jobs are in shared buildings, so we arrange delivery times, loading and building management approval well before we arrive.

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
• Replaces worn locks, hinges and handles
• Extends the life of sound frames
