I would not hesitate to recommend Glen if you want a job done competently and efficiently.
Had an emergency with back door not shutting and locking - panic - Glen arrived within 30 mins, job done.
You rarely find service like that nowdays.
Many thanks Glen.
Glen came to us same day to fix a faulty patio door lock.
He was recommended to us, always a good sign, and we would not hesitate to do the same for anyone else.
He was on time and assessed the job quickly.
He was clear about what needed to be done and the cost.

Most of GBM, s work is now in this field.
Many companies that say they carry out repairs are likely to condemn your windows and doors telling you parts are obsolete and are only really interested in selling you new Double Glazing.
GBM do not install Double Glazing we only repair, so if it can be repaired we will do so, we will not be trying to sell you new.
The most common problems are misted (broken down) Double Glazed Units.
The best way to deal with these is to replalace them.
There are companies recently starting up that can remove the condensation from the the units but they charge nearly as much to do this as we do to replace them.

We can repair sash or vertical sliding windows.
When these go wrong It is due to the balance springs that run up the side of the window wearing or breaking.
These can be replaced.
Even if obsolete different types of spring can be fitted.
There are very few companies that can do this type of work so many would condemn the whole window.
This is where a handle can be turned or you push a switch and the window opens.
It is mainly used in Commercial situations to open high level windows in places like school halls swimming pools etc.

Patio doors like those above are often very difficult to slide especially the bigger heavier doors.
But these can be removed partially deglazed and the runners replaced these are basically wheels underneath the door.
Many of theses runners are obsolete but can nearly always be replaced by similar modern runners on the market.
Once these are replaced the door will run like new.if the track is worn out again this can normally be replaced.
All doors need to have glass packed (Toe and Heeled) but many fitters do not do this therefore door will drop can sometimes take years but will drop.
