If you live in Blantyre, where explorer David Livingstone was born in 1813, and have spotted a chip or dent in a uPVC door frame, a wider photograph can be just as useful as a close-up. It shows whether the damage is on an open face, at a corner or beside a fitting that changes … Read more
If you are in Uddingston, the home of Tunnock’s famous bakery business, and a chip or dent is spoiling your composite door, a useful enquiry shows exactly which part is damaged. A mark in the door face is not the same problem as a faulty handle, a damaged frame or a door that will not … Read more
If you live in East Kilbride, where the original Village sits within the much larger modern town, and a chipped laminate board is catching your eye, the first question is whether the damage is confined to its surface.

If you live in Bishopbriggs, where poet Jackie Kay grew up, and a chipped or dented uPVC window sill catches your eye every time you open the curtains, a localised cosmetic repair may be worth assessing.
