Surrey Hills property context
An occupied Surrey Hills property may need preparation before window hinge repair can begin. Photograph the full window, hinge side, open position, fixing points and any sagging or rubbing mark. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. Measure the relationship between new furniture and door movement. Existing rubbing, handle clearance or restricted access should be documented before the room layout changes.
Planning the work
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
Photograph the full window, hinge side, open position, fixing points and any sagging or rubbing mark. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
Use the window within its intended range and report renewed sagging or frame movement for separate review. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
