Door Repairs South Dublin
Doors that stick, drop, will not latch or swing open on their own are one of the most common calls we get. The fix is usually straightforward once you know what you are looking at. We realign doors, adjust hinges, repair frames and sort latches and locks. Internal and external doors across all standard types found in South Dublin homes.
Draught Proofing
A draughty front door or rattling window frame makes a noticeable difference to how warm and quiet a home feels, particularly in older South Dublin properties. We fit draught excluders, door seals and window seals to reduce heat loss and noise. A small job with a surprisingly big impact on comfort.
Shelf Fitting and Wall Mounting
Getting shelves level and properly secured into the right part of the wall is something a lot of people struggle with. We fit floating shelves, alcove shelving, utility shelving and general wall mounted storage across South Dublin homes. We find the studs, use the right fixings for your wall type and make sure everything is solid before we leave.
Silicone Sealing in Kitchens and Bathrooms
Old silicone that has gone black or started to peel away looks bad and lets moisture get behind surfaces where it can cause real damage over time. We remove old silicone and apply a clean fresh bead around baths, showers, sinks and worktops. It is one of those jobs that makes a room look considerably better for a relatively small outlay.
Picture Hanging, Mirror Fitting and General Wall Work
Getting a heavy mirror or a large piece of artwork hung properly and level takes the right fixings and a bit of care. We hang pictures, mirrors, clocks and artwork across South Dublin homes and make sure everything is secure and sitting exactly where you want it.
