REPORT

Damages& Repairs:
The client explained that he had a burglary at his home. The door was subsequently pried open using a blunt tool – most likely a crowbar to lift it off its tracks. This has lead to the door being badly damaged. I’ve had a couple of discussions with a few of our suppliers about repairing the existing door and they have all said that it does not make sense to do go that route. It would be simpler and more efficient to fabricate a new door and install it. I have thus provided a quotation for the fabrication of a new double sliding aluminium door (natural colour) and install it as well. This will include the plastering and sealing of the hedges and reveals surrounding the door. Finally, a coat of paint around the door will finish the job off with an additional sealing using a durable silicone.
