We Repair — We Do Not Sell or Install
This is worth being completely clear about, because it's unusual in our industry.
We are a repair-only business. We do not sell new awnings. We do not install new awnings. We do not supply canopies. We do not subcontract to sales operations. Every single job we take on is a repair or a service to existing commercial awning and canopy equipment.
That means when you call us about a problem with a commercial awning in Wandsworth, you get advice from someone whose only interest is fixing what you already have. There is no incentive for us to tell you your awning is beyond repair when it isn't. There is no pressure to replace. There is no upsell.
If we can repair it, we will. If we genuinely can't, we'll tell you honestly — but we won't offer to sell you a replacement, because that's not what we do.

Awning & Canopy Repair FAQs — Wandsworth
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We're fully insured with comprehensive public liability cover. Certificates available on request.
Can you repair coastal awnings affected by salt and wind?
Yes. Coastal exposure accelerates fabric and frame degradation. We repair with galvanised fixings and marine-grade thread where conditions demand it.
Will you try to sell me a new awning?
Never. We only repair. If a repair isn't viable, we'll tell you honestly — but we won't sell you a replacement. That's not what we do.
Can you fix a canopy that's leaking?
Yes. Leaking canopy frames are usually caused by failed seals, loosened fixings or water pooling from incorrect tensioning. We diagnose and correct the underlying cause.
Do you only do repairs?
Yes — we only repair. We don't sell new awnings, we don't install, and we don't subcontract sales. Every job we take on is a repair or a service to existing equipment.
My awning is stuck open. Can you help?
Yes. Stuck-open awnings are treated as emergency call-outs. We prioritise these because an awning that can't retract is vulnerable to further wind damage.
