Hi, have a problem which from hearsay seems common enough.

Like I said this seems common enough and there is apparently a range of companies replacing these with correctly sized window hinges.

Anyone knows who's the best/most reasonable company offering that service in around Waterford? I believe they all charge a call out fee and then a price per hinge, i.e. €60 callout, €10 per hinge.

thanks
