Who supplies materials?
Before booking, agree who supplies materials. Compare dimensions and fixing centres before buying a visually matching fitting.
Expected duration?
Supporting material and the agreed decorative outcome affect the scope and duration.
Furniture assembly?
Furniture assembly is available. New furniture assembly is a separate product task from restoring original hardware.

Rental appointments?
Obtain owner approval before replacing a character fitting in a rental.
Quotation or fixed price?

Managed properties
Give the approving contact the desired appearance as well as the repair symptom.

Priorities for Windsor
Prioritise new furniture assembly or timber hardware repair, then add optional fittings. This checklist is not a booking or quotation.
DIY or call a handyman?
| Situation | A practical next step |
|---|---|
| New furniture assembly | A similar appearance does not prove that a replacement fits the mechanism. |
| Several related tasks | Request review where retaining original hardware is important but its support is damaged. |
| Timber shelf replacement | Old mounting holes need assessment for the replacement load and pattern. |
| Specialist systems | Security mechanisms, specialist glazing and regulated systems require appropriate separate services. |

THE DETAILS OF YOUR VISIT
Windsor: questions about this scenario
Will a similar-looking handle fit?
Check fixing centres and dimensions as well as style. A visually close replacement can require different holes or fail to suit the mechanism.
Can the old paint outline be hidden?
Compare the replacement footprint with the existing mark. Any filling or decorative work needed should be discussed rather than assumed.
Should the original fitting be removed for photos?
Photograph it in place first and avoid dismantling unstable or specialist hardware. Accessible measurements can support the initial enquiry.
What if keeping the original part matters?
Say so before replacement is proposed. Its condition will determine whether adjustment or repair is appropriate; preservation cannot be guaranteed from appearance alone.
Can old screw holes be reused?
Their condition and compatibility require assessment. Convenient alignment does not establish a sound fixing or suitable replacement.
Does a small repair include repainting the room?
No. Describe the local finish wanted and request wider decoration separately if that is part of the project.
What if the timber behind the plate is split?
Show the material damage as its own issue. New hardware may not resolve the underlying support and carpentry may be needed.
Can a modern bracket replace an older one?
Provide both specifications and the intended load. The new fixing pattern and any exposed marks need review before the substitution is assumed.
How should finish expectations appear in the quote?
Distinguish functional repair, replacement hardware and agreed making good. That keeps the desired appearance visible without implying unpriced decorative work.
