Cranebrook housing stock and typical issues

- Awning window stays broken or slack, sash bangs in wind
- Timber sash cords snapped, sash falls or will not stay up
- Cracked panes from garden impact, kids, storms
- Sealed unit failure (fogged double glazing) on newer homes
- Corroded aluminium sill corners on north and west elevations

Insurance-triggered work
Storm and impact damage in Cranebrook is common enough that we work with all major insurers regularly. We handle the make-safe on the day, issue the itemised invoice and compliance paperwork, and can lodge directly with the insurer if you nominate us on the policy. Our window repair process covers both direct-pay and insurance-funded work.
What to have ready when you ring
Three pieces of information speed the visit. First, the address and access instructions (side gate code, dog in the yard, tenant contact if it is a rental). Second, a rough size of the window or door and a description of the fault (dropped, cracked, dragging, fogged). Third, a photo if possible, texted to the same number after you ring. With those we arrive with the right stock and rarely need a second visit for anything routine.
Scheduling and communication
Emergency visits: we text the driver’s ETA once dispatched. Scheduled visits: we confirm the appointment window the day before by text, and the driver rings 20 to 30 minutes before arrival. Payment can be arranged on the day (card or EFT) or invoiced net 14 for repeat commercial clients. For nearby areas we cover under the same crew, see Penrith and Kingswood.

Yes. Every scheduled repair or replacement quote is provided in writing before we book the install, with itemised labour, materials, and any compliance documentation included.
Can you repair windows on rental properties without the tenant being home?
With owner or agent authorisation and access to the property, yes. We provide the invoice and photo report directly to the property manager for the tenant record.
