Once we have completed an installation at your period or listed property, we can return to service it to keep your CosyGlazed and draught proofed windows, doors and loft or floor insulation in first-class condition.
We know the maintenance of your home is important to you, which is why you chose to invest in improving the overall fabric of your property with Mitchell & Dickinson’s bespoke insulation solutions. Yet, as with all good things, our products do need care and attention if we want them to continue to operate at their peak.
Our new Service offering is in addition to our 5-year standard guarantee on all Mitchell & Dickinson installations. It will give you an inspection and full service of your installation carried out by our expert craftsmen, so that you can have the peace of mind that your insulation solutions are kept beautifully clean and in excellent working order, just as they were on the day they were first installed.
Why our Service is worth the investment
Mitchell & Dickinson’s insulation solutions are the best on the market – and our Trustpilot rating shows our customers think so too. Our solutions are built to last so if anything does happen to go wrong, which it very rarely does, you will be covered by our 5-year guarantee as standard. This means we will arrange for one of our friendly craftspeople to return at your convenience to resolve the specific issue.
What our guarantee doesn’t cover, however, is the general upkeep and maintenance of your entire CosyGlazing, draught proofing and insulation after our installation is complete. The aftercare, such as the cleaning and ongoing general maintenance, is up to you.
With our new Service visit, we take care of all the cleaning and maintenance for you. We can ensure your insulation is in good working order and looks pristine for years to come.
We will also compile a report on the condition of the fabric of your windows and doors, lofts and floors that we see on inspection which will give our recommendations on any future repair and maintenance work you might need to plan for. For example, putty repairs or painting and decorating, so you can commission a suitable local tradesperson to help you at a future date.
