Landlords, letting agents and portfolio owners
Landlords, letting agents and portfolio owners around Cwmbran: what changes
Written for landlords and agents. The measure of a good job here is not the colour of the frame, it is how few callouts the property generates in the following five years and whether the work can be done between tenancies.
The things worth checking before you accept a price
- Work scheduled inside a void period so rent is not lost
- Restrictors and safe opening on upper floors as standard
- The door hinges are set with the correct rise before the frame is finally fixed — retro-adjustment on cheap hinges is limited.
- The internal reveal is masked before any silicone runs, so the finished bead is a clean line against the plaster.
Written guarantees and insurance documentation supplied for the property file as standard

What we typically find on garage doors surveys around here
- ·The frame colour has gone chalky on the sun side and stayed factory white on the shaded elevation.
- ·The reinforcement steel inside the top rail of a wide sash has rusted through in one corner.
- ·The bathroom pane is patterned glass from the original build, and the pattern is no longer a current stock line.
- ·The internal beadwork has been painted so many times the mitres are unrecognisable.
- ·The cylinder on the front door still has the builder's key stamp, meaning it has never been changed since handover.
- ·The letterbox opening is not draught-proofed at all — a candle held two feet away flickers in a light wind.
- ·The Yale night-latch on top of the multipoint is a sign the resident does not trust the primary lock.
- ·The garden gate side of the property gets no direct sun and the frames there look ten years newer than the fronts.
- ·Every casement in the property opens with a firm tug on the second click — the friction stays are seized.
- ·The letterplate has a hinged internal flap that has snapped off and is currently held in place with masking tape.
- ·The multipoint deadbolt still throws but the top hook has stopped catching and no one has noticed for months.
- ·The old timber sub-cill under a uPVC swap is boron-treatable but only if we lift the frame off it cleanly.
- ·A weep vent that was factory-drilled has been over-painted three times and no longer clears water from the chamber.
- ·A previous fitter left the transport wedges in the frame corners and the internal seal never fully reset.
- ·A previous decorator's dust sheet was left inside the frame chamber during a repaint and is still there.
- ·The gasket at the vent has perished and pulled away from its channel in two-inch sections.

- ·There is a downstairs shower being fitted and the bathroom window needs to be swappable before the tiler starts.
- ·The buyer has just moved in and is fixing everything the vendor's homebuyer report flagged, in priority order.
- ·The resident wants the kitchen brighter in the mornings without losing the privacy from next door's back garden.
- ·The owner wants the front door to feel expensive to close — the weight, the sound, the drop of the latch.
- ·The homeowner has just re-rendered the front elevation and wants the frames to be the last piece of the picture.
- ·The owner is done paying to service failing 90s uPVC every couple of years and wants the whole set replaced together.
- ·The homeowner wants the front porch to feel enclosed in winter and open in summer.
- ·A newborn has arrived and the parents want the nursery to hold a stable overnight temperature.
- ·The owner is having a kitchen refit next month and wants the patio door in first so the tiler works to a fitted threshold.
- ·The homeowner is on a smart meter and can see the room-by-room heat loss on a phone app.
- ·The resident wants the letterbox to stop being a draught source without giving up daily post.
- ·The owner is buying and wants to time the frame swap for the week between exchange and moving in.
- ·The homeowner wants the composite slab to be paintable without voiding the manufacturer warranty.
- ·The buyer wants a composite front door that reads more house-proud than the run of identical rentals on the road.
- ·The owner has scaffolding booked for a re-render and wants the frames sequenced around the render trades.
How our fitters actually do the work
- ·Foam gets a wet finger dressed into the internal reveal, not a dry-cut strip that pulls back later.
- ·The frame drainage slots are checked and blown clear before the beads go in — a plugged slot fills the chamber.
- ·The multipoint hooks are lightly greased after fitting, before the door is closed for the first time.
- ·The letterplate brush strip is trimmed to the exact height of the door thickness so it seals without dragging.
- ·The threshold ramp on an accessible door is set to a maximum 15mm rise, checked with a spirit-level lip.
- ·The client is walked through the finished job with a printed operation card, not a rushed verbal handover.
- ·The crew asks the client where the kettle lives before they set up so tea gets made rather than negotiated.
- ·The internal cill is scribed with a coping saw against the reveal plaster, not butted flush with a caulk joint.
- ·The frame reinforcement steel is confirmed by knock-test before selecting the fixing pattern.
- ·The head of the frame is packed dry before the sides are fixed, so the frame does not distort during installation.
- ·The frame reinforcement is chosen for the wind load exposure of the elevation, not the smallest steel that fits.
- ·The multipoint keeps get a smear of grease inside the pocket before the door is closed for the first time.
- ·The lead fitter leaves a handwritten note of anything the client should watch in the first month, not a printed generic checklist.
- ·The old keys are collected and destroyed, not left in a bag on the drive.
- ·The threshold is bedded on butyl mastic under the outer skin, giving the fitter a second waterproof line behind the perimeter silicone.
- ·The client's Wi-Fi router near the door is checked for a signal drop after the composite slab is fitted — a rare case, but worth confirming.

Faults we fix before recommending garage doors
Fog between the panes means the sealed unit has failed — the glass can usually be swapped without touching the frame.
A draught is usually a compression problem — gasket, hinge or seal — long before it's a reason to replace the window.
Which face the water sits on tells you everything: inside is ventilation, between the panes is a failed unit, outside is normal physics.
A door that needs lifting, shoving or a second attempt to lock is warning you before the gearbox fails completely.
