SBI LTD carried out a Markilux Awning repair in Maidstone, Kent.
The awning was installed by a local company that is no longer trading and Tony called us in as the awning had started to pull away from the wall.
SBI installers removed the awning as it was too dangerous to leave it in situ, they advised that heavy-duty spreader plates would be required and supplied and installed them.
