Questions to Ask Your Trade

1. Are you insured and do you carry public liability cover for door repairs?

2. What brand and type of rollers and seals will you supply and fit?

3. Do you lubricate and clean tracks as part of the repair?

4. Can you realign both the frame and door panels if they’re out of true?

5. Is weather-strip renewal included in your standard repair quote?

6. How do you handle access restrictions (e.g. balconies, patio steps)?

7. What warranty do you offer on labour and replacement parts?
   

How to Avoid Surprises

• Ensure clear access to your patio doors (move plants, furniture).

• Reserve a parking space near the work area for bulky equipment.

• Ask if scaffolding or safety equipment is required for high-level doors.

• Check whether track removal will require an extra call-out or lead time for parts.

• Get a written, itemised quote detailing call-out, labour, materials and any extras.
