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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Checking the work before paying
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.
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.
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.
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.
Glazing beads and how to remove them
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.
