About Windows & Doors
Seals, gaskets and the compression test
Good windows depend on rubber gaskets that compress evenly around the sash. Ask to see the gasket profile and check that corners are mitred or vulcanised, not glued. After fitting, close the sash on a piece of paper; if you can pull it out without tearing, the compression is too loose.
Ironmongery that survives daily use
Hinges, handles and multi-point locks carry the weight of the door every day. Stainless steel or marine-grade hinges resist rust near coastal air. Ask how many locking points the strip has, and check that cylinders carry a current security rating rather than a brand logo alone.
Damp around frames and where it hides
Damp patches near the head or sill often point to a broken bridge in the frame, not the wall. Run your hand along the reveal and feel for cold spots. Ask the fitter to drill a small inspection hole in the frame cavity and confirm the insulation is continuous.
Lead time for made-to-measure orders
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Common mistakes during fitting
Foam filling the entire gap stops the frame from moving with temperature changes. Packers left behind under the sill create cold bridges. Silicone applied over dirty trim peels within months. Ask the fitter how they seal the perimeter and how they pack the frame before screwing it in.
