Ways we can help in Oban
Misted Glass Repair in Oban
Condensation on the room-side surface of the glass is not the same problem. It usually comes from humid indoor air meeting a cold pane and can be wiped away. Only mist trapped between the two panes means the sealed unit itself has failed and needs replacing.
Bespoke Mirrors in Oban
Most mirrors for internal use are made from silver-coated float glass covered by BS EN 1036-1, which sets definitions, quality requirements and test methods, including resistance to damp and corrosion. Mirror for bathrooms or other humid areas should come from a supplier whose product meets that standard.
Composite Doors in Oban
Replacing a front door usually takes a day on site. The old door and frame are cut out, the new frame is fixed, packed and squared, the slab is hung and adjusted, and the frame is sealed outside and trimmed inside. Plaster around older frames sometimes needs making good afterwards.

Glazing in Oban: questions
Can I cancel after accepting a quote?
If you contract at home or remotely, you normally have 14 days to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations. Made-to-measure goods that have been made to your specification may not be cancellable once production starts; your quote and terms explain this clearly.
What is safety glass and where is it needed?
Safety glass is toughened or laminated glass that breaks in a safer way than ordinary float glass. Building regulations require it in critical locations, such as glass in and beside doors and low-level glazing, and we specify it wherever it is required.
What should I do if a window has just broken?
Keep people and pets away from the glass, wear thick gloves if you need to move anything, and call us. We can arrange boarding or temporary glazing to make the opening safe, then measure for permanent glass. If there has been a break-in, report it to the police and note the reference for your insurer.
Do you only replace glass, or whole windows too?
Both. Many problems, such as a cracked pane, a misted sealed unit or a broken hinge, can be fixed without replacing the frame. When a frame is rotten, warped or past repair, we quote for new uPVC, aluminium or timber-effect windows and doors instead, and we say which option makes more sense for your property.
