Frequently Asked Questions — Bournemouth
-
uPVC door won't lock when I lift the handle. What's wrong?
Almost always the multipoint gearbox has failed internally. Hooks and bolts no longer engage even though the handle still moves. We replace the gearbox without changing the whole door.
-
How much for a multipoint replacement in Bournemouth?
Most repairs in BH postcodes are £69 to £159 fitted, depending on brand and whether the strip needs replacing. Vans carry common Yale, GU, Avocet, Fuhr and Mila units.
-
Door has dropped and scrapes the frame. Can you fix it?
Hinge adjustment and toe-and-heel reglazing brings most uPVC doors back into alignment. We only suggest a replacement slab if the frame itself has failed.
-
Coastal weather has corroded our handles. Can you swap them?
Yes. Salt damage on Bournemouth coastal handles is common. We fit marine-grade or stainless replacements that hold up far longer than chrome-plated.
-
Patio door is stuck open. Can you secure it tonight?
Same evening attendance available. The door is secured temporarily, parts replacement booked for the next working day.
-
Do you repair composite doors?
Yes. Mechanisms inside composite doors are very similar to uPVC. Hinges, multipoints, cylinders and seals are all stocked.
-
Will home insurance pay for storm damage?
Most home policies cover storm damage. We provide an itemised invoice describing the failure mode and replacement parts, which insurers usually accept without dispute.
Have a different question? Just call.
