Ways we can help in Bodmin
Frameless Glass in Bodmin
Fixed glass screens are held in slim channels or clamps at the floor, walls and ceiling, and the head fixing needs something solid to bite into. Walls and ceilings are rarely perfectly square, so templating records the true shape and the glass is made to follow it, keeping gaps even.
Window Repairs in Bodmin
A uPVC or composite door with a multipoint lock has one central gearbox that drives hooks, rollers or bolts along the door edge. A failed gearbox can leave the door stuck locked or unable to lock. In many cases only the gearbox needs replacing, not the whole strip.
Curtain Walling in Bodmin
A stick system is built on site piece by piece. Aluminium mullions and transoms are fixed to the structure first, then the glass and infill panels go in, and finally the pressure plates and caps. It suits low-rise buildings and screens but needs access to both faces.

Glazing in Bodmin: questions
Do I need building regulations approval?
Replacing just the glass in an existing frame is usually treated as a repair. Replacing whole windows or glazed external doors is building work, and the rules on notification differ between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Your quote explains what applies and how it will be handled.
Who will actually do the work?
Work is carried out by glaziers working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with. Your quote names the company, the specification and the guarantee terms.
How long does a job take?
Glass is made to measure, so there is usually a lead time between survey and fitting. Fitting a sealed unit is normally quick; new windows, doors and architectural glass take longer. Your quote gives the expected lead time and how long the fitting will take on site.
How do payment and deposits work?
Payment terms are set out on your written quote. For made-to-measure items a deposit may be requested before ordering, and the quote explains when the balance is due.
