About Windows & Doors
Ventilation and trickle vents
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.
Security fittings to look for
Windows should carry PAS 24 or Secured by Design certification. Multi-point locking on doors needs hooks at the top and bottom, not just a centre latch. Ask for 3-star euro cylinders, anti-snap barrels, and hinge bolts on the inside frame. A 1-star cylinder is too easy to bypass.
Door material pros and cons
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.
Signs your old frame has failed
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.
How long installation takes
A standard casement window swap takes 1 to 2 hours per unit. A full house of 8 to 10 windows usually finishes in 2 days. Front doors take 3 to 5 hours, French doors up to a full day. Rendering, plaster touch-ups, or structural repairs add extra time to the schedule.
Measuring the opening the right way
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.
Glass options that change the price
Double glazing is now the baseline for most homes. Triple glazing drops heat loss more but adds weight and cost. Low-E coatings and argon gas fill raise the U-value rating. Laminated glass blocks noise near busy roads. Ask for the exact U-value and glass thickness before signing anything.
Picking the right window frame
Frames come in uPVC, aluminium, timber, or composite. uPVC needs little care and holds heat well. Aluminium is slimmer but adds thermal breaks to fight condensation. Timber looks classic but asks for repainting every 6 to 8 years. Ask the fitter which profile rating matches your wall and local weather.
Disposal of the old units
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.
Making good the plaster after fitting
New frames often leave a 10 to 20 mm gap around the perimeter that needs filling. Ask whether the quote includes making good the plaster or just the foam and silicone seal. Photograph the wall before work starts so any cracks afterwards are easy to pin on the fitter.
