Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Urgent double glazing repairs - security issue.
Hi
I live in a ground floor one bed flat with lounge access to garden via double glazed doors. 2 days ago the doors (open a lot daytime in this hot weather) stopped closing. The doors were put in by previous owner - I've lived here for 12 years, I've no idea who installed.
This is a huge security issue for me as I'm often alone here … now anyone, if they climbed over the back fence (at night) could just open the doors and walk in.
Last night, feeling quite nervous, I locked myself in the bedroom. Had to lock the cat out so he can come and go and use the cat flap..
I've called the guy in Enfield (recommended on this site - Bee and something?) who said he'd call round yesterday afternoon as he was 'doing jobs in the area'. He never turned up. Nor has he answered his phone ever since.
I called the one in Barnet - I found them unhelpful and unsympathetic. They don't do repairs unless they actually installed the double glazing … I don't know who installed it or how long ago. So they said sorry cant help.
A guy I use for handyman jobs tried to fix, he thinks hinges need adjusting - but it requires an 'Imperial' alum key which he didn't have handy - also he is flat out busy, so it was kind of him to look.
Anyone got any suggestions other than the above. I need help and fast - but not at any price ... limited funds.

Hi
I found Gee and Bee (Abdul) to be around the best price, but yes you do have to keep ringing. Happy with the job and they came out to adjust the French doors once it warmed up as they were slightly out after being fitted in winter. Other companies are Enfield Windows and Lordship Windows. Hope you get it sorted out

ERG Glazing, 0800 038 9835 may be worth a go.
They’re coming to mine on Monday to measure up for a replacement pane in a bifold door that shattered.

Well the wonderful Vincenzo Laudamo came to my rescue. He interrupted a birthday party to come at 8 pm and fixed my double glazed doors to the garden for a very reasonable price considering the late hour. He runs his own company called Double Glazing Services. He mainly fits or fixes windows. He's local too - lives in Southgate. What a nice man - fixed my doors quickly and efficiently and gave advice about cleaning etc too. His number is 07958916101. My doors are now lockable again and I feel safe at night. Thanks Vincenzo - hope you got back to your party ok!
