Glazier and Door & Window Repairs in Canterbury

What we do in Canterbury

 

• Misted double glazing: we replace just the sealed unit in uPVC, aluminium and timber frames.

• Broken glass: replacement single glass and double glazed units, including toughened, laminated, obscure and fire-rated glass.

• Door repairs: hinges, handles, locks, letterboxes, seals, and bi-fold, sliding and patio door wheels and runners.

• Window repairs: hinges, handles, locks, restrictors, seals and trickle vents.

• Conservatory repairs: misted or broken roof and side panels, doors and seals.

• Older windows: putty glazing in timber frames and Crittall-style steel windows.

• Catflaps and pet doors fitted into glass.

• Mirrors, safety glass, fire-rated glass, glass table tops and furniture protectors.

We don't sell or fit new window frames. We repair the windows and doors you already have, so our advice is always about what's best for you.

 

Canterbury homes and the glass in them

 

Canterbury has a real mix of buildings, and each brings its own glazing jobs.

• Victorian and Edwardian terraces, in streets around St Dunstan's, Wincheap and Northgate, often have timber sash or casement windows with single glass held in putty, and front doors with patterned glass panels.

• Homes from the 1970s to the 1990s, around the edges of the city and in villages like Sturry and Bridge, often still have their first double glazing. Those older units are the ones that tend to mist up, and the hinges and handles are often worn too.

• Newer homes on the city's recent estates have modern uPVC and aluminium doors, including bi-folds and sliding patio doors, where wheels, runners and locks are the usual repairs.

 

Repairs for Canterbury landlords and letting agents

 

Canterbury has a large number of rented and shared houses, many of them let to students at the city's universities. Landlords and letting agents use us for:

• broken glass and misted units, so a property stays secure and warm

• door and window locks, and handles that have worn or broken

• sticking doors, dropped hinges and windows that won't shut properly

• getting several repairs done in one visit, between tenancies or over the summer

Send us photos of each window or door and the address, and we'll quote for the lot. We're happy to quote for several properties at once.

 

Older and listed buildings in the city

 

Much of central Canterbury sits in a conservation area, and the city has many listed buildings. We repair the glass in older windows the traditional way: single glass bedded in putty and steel Crittall-style frames, so the window keeps its character.

 

If your building is listed, changes to its windows can need permission from Canterbury City Council, so it's worth checking before work starts. We're happy to talk through the options with you.

 

Schools, care homes, hotels and businesses

 

We also look after schools, care homes, hotels, guest houses, offices and shops in and around Canterbury. That includes safety glass where people could walk into it, fire-rated glass in fire doors and screens, and aluminium door closers for busy entrances.

 

Getting to you from Ashford

 

We come up the A28 from Ashford through Godmersham, Chilham and Chartham, so we're in Canterbury in around half an hour. As well as the city itself (CT1 to CT4), we cover the villages around it, including Chilham, Chartham, Harbledown, Rough Common, Blean, Sturry, Fordwich, Littlebourne, Bekesbourne and Bridge.
