We cover Shotts and the villages around it every week, a straight run out from our base in Wishaw. From Stane and Dykehead through to Harthill, Salsburgh, Allanton and Kirk o Shotts, we fix misted double glazing, dropped doors, broken handles, failed locks and draughty seals, and most jobs are finished in a single visit.
What we fix in Shotts
- Misted, blown or cracked double glazing, with replacement glass units from £75
- uPVC and composite doors that stick, drop or will not lock
- Window hinges, handles, locks, gaskets and seals
- Full window and door servicing, re-alignment and re-sealing to stop draughts
- Replacement door panels, letterplates, cylinders and handles
- Patio, French and sliding doors that jam, drag or will not close properly
Why Shotts is hard on windows and doors
Shotts sits high and open, and that shows up in the work we get called out to. Wind driven rain finds any gap in a gasket, seals perish faster on the weather side of a house, and windows that rattle in a gale are usually telling you the hinges or the keeps have worn rather than that the whole frame has failed.
A lot of the housing here is ex council semis and terraces from the fifties through to the seventies, with uPVC that went in during the nineties or early two thousands. That stock is now at exactly the age where sealed units mist, multipoint locks wear and handles snap. Nine times out of ten a repair puts it right for a fraction of a replacement, and we will tell you straight which one you actually need.
What a repair costs
Replacement sealed units start at £75 fitted. Everything else is priced on what the job needs, because a worn hinge and a full patio door overhaul are not the same piece of work. There is no call out charge and no charge for a quote, so you know the price before anyone lifts a tool. Over thirty years in the trade and more than a hundred five star reviews behind us.
How soon we can get out to Shotts
We are on the road from eight in the morning until five, Monday to Friday. Shotts is around twenty minutes from the workshop, so if you call early we can often take a look the same week, and anything that leaves a house insecure gets moved to the front of the queue. If glass has to be made to size, that is usually a few working days and then one short visit to fit it.
