Kitchen and Balcony Door Repairs — St Petersgate, Stockport

Project Overview

British Builders attended Apartment St Petersgate in Stockport to complete approved remedial repairs within the kitchen and balcony areas.

The visit covered several reported defects, including a loose kitchen sink tap, a damaged kitchen drawer mechanism and a defective balcony door handle. The works were completed as one coordinated apartment maintenance visit to restore function and avoid repeat attendance.

The kitchen tap was inspected, tightened, adjusted and resealed where required. The drawer runner system, clips and front alignment were checked and repaired, while the balcony door handle was removed and replaced with suitable hardware, then tested with the existing locking mechanism.
