Condensation inside the glass means the seal is gone. Drafts around the edges point to broken gaskets or warped timber. Soft black spots on sills show water has pooled for months. Stiff handles and cracked putty mean the unit is past repair and replacement is the safer choice now.
Old glass and timber frames count as construction waste and should not go in a normal bin. Ask the fitter to break down the old units on site and take them away, leaving the driveway clean. Keep the waste transfer note with your invoice for proof of legal disposal.
Glazing beads hold the glass inside the frame. External beads are safer against intruders, internal beads are easier to service. Ask which type you have and how to pop a bead out without breaking it. Keep a spare bead set aside in case one cracks during future reglazing.
Choose the frame style to match your wall opening. Casement frames swing open, tilt-and-turn frames tilt in, and fixed frames do not open. Check the reveal depth in millimetres so the frame sits flush with plaster. Ask the fitter to confirm the wall makeup before ordering a profile.
Newer windows must include trickle vents or a mechanical extractor to meet building rules. Removing them causes mould and stale air, even with double glazing. Keep trickle vents open in kitchens and bathrooms. The 2-position slider lets you regulate airflow without leaving the window cracked open.
Width and height are taken brick to brick in 3 spots: top, middle, bottom. The smallest reading sets the frame size after a 10 mm fitting gap all around. Old houses may have out-of-square frames, so note the diagonal difference. Never trust a quote based on rough measurements taken by phone.
Standard white frames in common sizes arrive in 2 to 3 weeks. Coloured, foiled or non-standard sizes stretch to 5 to 7 weeks. Ask the supplier to print the order confirmation with the dispatch date and the delivery date so you can book the fitter with a real window.
External door thresholds should sit 15 mm above the finished floor to keep out driving rain. Low thresholds look neat but need a proper drip groove underneath. Ask the fitter to show the drainage path and the silicone seal at the sill before they fix the frame in place.
Open and close every sash before the team leaves. Look for even gaps of 3 to 5 mm around the frame. Run a damp finger along seals to find air leaks. Check sills with a spirit level. Water-test doors with a hose for 10 minutes before signing the completion form.
Composite doors combine a timber core with a glass-reinforced plastic skin and resist warping. Solid timber looks great but swells in wet seasons. uPVC doors stay stable but can fade after 10 years of strong sun. Steel doors give the best security but need a thermal break to stop cold transfer.
