We prioritise the most serious defects in your Leighton Buzzard building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Leighton Buzzard can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.

What can be repaired?

Most defects found on inspection are repairable: replacing damaged intumescent strips and smoke seals, re-fixing or replacing hinges and missing screws, replacing or adjusting closers, fixing latches and keeps, fitting intumescent pads behind hinges and locks, re-glazing with the correct system and correcting minor gap issues where the manufacturer's guidance allows. Some repairs, such as hardwood edge repairs, must follow the manufacturer's method to stay within the evidence.

On a typical job that means:

• Hinge, screw and latch repairs
• Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
• Re-glazing to the original system
• Seal, strip and pad replacement
