DESCRIBE THE AFFECTED TIMBER
Doors, windows and damaged timber
Tell us if an external timber door will not close, a jamb is split, a window frame is damaged or a timber fitting has come loose. We assess the component and its fixings, explain the repair options and agree the work with you.
- Timber door and frame repairs — closing, hinge support and damaged jambs
- Timber window repairs — frames, sills and timber around the opening
- Rotten timber repairs — soft or damaged timber and the source of wetting
Damage noticed after rain can reveal an existing defect. Timber decay develops over time; we check the condition and moisture history rather than assume one storm caused the rot.
Call, confirm attendance, then assess
- Describe the problem and location. Give your suburb, address, affected component and whether the opening can close. Mention access, parking and any immediate restriction on using the area.
- Confirm the visit. We check available people and access, confirm whether we can attend and give you the expected arrival. A call or form submission alone does not confirm a booking.
- Agree the assessment and measures. We assess the actual timber damage and discuss suitable temporary protection or immediate measures, the scope and charges before work starts. Permanent repairs and finishing are agreed separately where needed.
We assess the damaged opening or loose timber and establish suitable access and initial measures before planning the repair. Related lock, glazing, roof or structural work is incorporated into the assessment and work sequence as required. An unstable area should remain clear; immediate danger to people calls for emergency services.
Send details while we confirm the visit
If you can photograph the damage from a safe position, email the pictures to brian@elliservices.com.au. Include your suburb, the affected item and when you first noticed the problem. Existing inspection or repair records can help us prepare.
For an urgent request, call first. You can also use the existing enquiry form to record the details; we confirm attendance directly.
ATTENDANCE AND QUOTES
Confirm the practical details
When can I call, and when is the office open?
Our telephone is answered 24 hours. Office reception is 9 am–9 pm. Night and weekend attendance can be arranged; call to confirm the team and visit time before expecting a call-out.
Can you attend within 30 minutes?
The earliest possible arrival is around 30 minutes when a team is available, your address is within reach and access is safe. This is not a guaranteed response time. We confirm the expected arrival with you by phone.
How are temporary measures and repair costs agreed?
The work and charges depend on the actual damage, access and measures needed. We explain proposed temporary protection, attendance and repair charges and obtain agreement before that work proceeds. Permanent repairs may need a separate scope and visit.
