Call Bugsy: 07453 327708
What to expect when you call
When you ring, Bugsy will ask a few straightforward questions, what type of door, whether you have a spare key anywhere, and roughly when you need the work done. From that he can give you a firm price before he sets off, so there are no surprises on the invoice. There’s no call-out fee, and every job is quoted up front. If the work turns out to be simpler than expected, the price comes down to match.
UPVC and composite doors in Marchwood
A lot of the housing built on the Marchwood side of the waterfront in the last twenty years uses multipoint locking systems, the kind with several hooks or bolts that engage along the full height of the door. These are excellent when they’re set up properly, but they’re sensitive to the door dropping even a few millimetres in its frame. That misalignment puts strain on the mechanism and eventually the handle becomes stiff or the door won’t lock at all. Bugsy carries the adjustment tools and common replacement gearboxes to sort this in a single visit rather than ordering parts and coming back.
Security worth considering if you’re near the docks or forest edge
Properties on the western edge of Marchwood sit close to open New Forest land, and detached houses or bungalows with side gates and outbuildings can be easier to approach without being noticed. A few straightforward upgrades, a British Standard five-lever mortice on any secondary door, decent padlocks on garage hasps rated to an appropriate security grade, and a well-positioned key safe with a solid steel body, make a measurable difference. Bugsy can take a quick look at what you’ve already got and tell you honestly what’s worth changing and what’s fine as it is.
