We’ve got an extensive training programme which includes:
Due to the sensitive nature of some classes, attendees must either be MLA members, have a DBS check (please bring the certificate), or be accompanied/vouched for by an MLA member.
In this class, delivered by Andy Tristram, we will take a deep dive into replacing glass sealed units and rectifying badly glazed windows and doors. We will discuss and cover the preliminary checks and adjustments to hinges prior to rushing in and removing or adjusting the door position through the “Toe & Heeling” principle. This is particularly useful if you are following behind a handyman (or a homeowner/YouTuber) who has already attempted to adjust things and already made the situation worse. Product assessment can be a real time saver!
You should be able to tackle the adjustment, removal and where required the replacement of glass sealed units with confidence. Whilst door adjustment and “Toe & Heeling” is an integral part of our “day to day” work, once you have confidence, you can promote and carry out the replacement of misted sealed units, removal of leaded windows and converting to clear glass (or vice versa) and this can be a very lucrative addition to your revenue and help keep your diary more fully booked with appointments.
