Door and Window repairs

Johannesburg has a rather stable climate which generally bodes well not only for the garden but also for windows and doors. But it has been known to hail rather unexcpetedly. Indiscriminately hurling large hailstones at delicate plants and plate glass windows leaving much in need of repair.

House breaking, sadly is a common occurrence in Johannesburg, in spite of alarm systems and security precautions taken by home owners, it still happens that doors and windows can be bypassed to gain entry, often leaving these windows and doors in need of repair or replacement.

So often doors and windows get damaged by the homeowners themselves, and it is usually because they have lost or misplaced a key and are desperate to get into the room and choose not to call a locksmith because they thing they can get inside without any help, even if it means damaging the door or breaking a window.

Repairing windows does not only extend to replacing the broken glass, which in itself can be a messy affair and if you are inexperienced or clumsy it can be expensive and downright dangerous.

Wooden window frames can buckle and warp with time making windows difficult to open or close. Repairing this situation will require replacing the window frame.

Repairing Doors

The doors and window frames you choose to finish your house with will play a large role in the final look of your home. Wood is a decorative and practical item, which is why many people choose to go with wooden window frames and doors.

Once again, the windows and doors are exposed to the elements which over time can cause them to stretch and warp make opening and closing them difficult.

Repairing these doors can be done by removing them, getting them back into workable shape and then replacing these doors.

Wear and tear on doors is also rather high, especially in high traffic areas. Any damage that may result here will be compounded by the elements eventually making it necessary to have the door replaced.

Replacing a door

It is not just a case of taking off the old door and putting in a new one. Replacing a door requires that it fits properly and does not scrape the door frame or the floor when opened or closed. A professional will need to do all the resizing and replacing of the door, and possibly even replace locks.
