• Service or replace multipoint locks, cylinders, handles and latch mechanisms

• Replace worn seals, draught excluders and threshold brushes to reduce draughts and water ingress

Most repairs and adjustments take 1–3 hours; ordering speciality parts can extend the job to several days and full door or frame replacements typically take 1–2 days

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• Do you have public liability insurance and can you provide a written quote and warranty?

• How many conservatory door repairs have you done recently and do you specialise in uPVC, wood or aluminium?

• Which parts will you replace and which will you attempt to repair, and can you show examples or part numbers?

• Will you need scaffolding, a second person or a crane for lifting the door and how will that affect cost and timing?

• How long will the work take and what delays might occur if parts need ordering?

• Do you remove and dispose of old parts and will you protect internal flooring and furniture?

How to Avoid Surprises

• Clear access to the conservatory and move plants, furniture and curtains out of the work area

• Reserve nearby parking or advise of restrictions so the fitter can unload tools and parts

• Tell the tradie about fragile glazing, polycarbonate roofing or suspected rot before work starts

• Confirm permission for any external scaffolding or communal-area access with neighbours or management

• Have a safe place to store removed doors and parts and protect internal flooring with dust sheets

• Keep pets and children away while work is underway and ask for confirmation of PPE and contamination controls if mould or damp is present
