Ways we can help in Ayr
Composite Doors in Ayr
Composite doors do not need painting. Wipe the skin and frame with warm soapy water, avoid solvents and abrasive pads, and keep the threshold drainage clear. A little light oil on the lock gearing and hinges once or twice a year keeps the door closing smoothly, and hinges can be adjusted if it drops.
Sash Windows in Ayr
A traditional box sash hides cast-iron or lead weights inside the side boxes of the frame, connected to each sash by cords running over pulleys. Modern sash windows often use spiral or spring balances instead, which take up less depth and suit uPVC and some new timber designs without weight pockets.
Sliding Doors in Ayr
Making an opening wider for new sliding doors is structural work that needs building control approval and a correctly sized lintel or steel. Replacing doors in the existing opening is simpler. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas may also need planning or other consent for the change.

Glazing in Ayr: questions
What happens to the old glass?
We take away the old glass and packaging and dispose of it responsibly. If you would like anything kept, such as original leaded panels, tell us before the work starts.
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.
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 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.
