Window and door fitters can offer work such as replacement windows, uPVC windows, aluminium windows where offered, timber windows where offered, uPVC entrance doors, composite front doors, french doors, and sliding patio doors. Services vary by business, so check the individual profile before making a request.

Question 2

When should I hire a window and door fitter?

Accepted Answer

A window and door fitter can help when windows are draughty, doors stick, locks or handles fail, and glazing is misted. Check individual profiles to make sure the business takes on the type of work you need.

Question 3

What information should I include when asking for a quote?

Accepted Answer

Describe the problem or work you want done, add clear photos where they can be taken safely, give useful measurements or product details where relevant, and include the property location, access and any deadline. Mention previous repairs, reports or known defects if they could affect the job.

Question 4

What should I check before hiring a window and door fitter?

Accepted Answer

Before hiring, check the business has suitable experience and that the quote or price is clear. For this type of work, ask about measurements, product warranty, FENSA/building regulation requirements where relevant, and disposal. Also make sure the window and door fitter covers your area and takes on the type of job you need.

Question 5

Are there qualifications, registrations or insurance I should check?

Accepted Answer

Replacement windows and doors can be covered by Building Regulations. A registered self-certification scheme installer can certify certain work; otherwise building control may need to be involved. Ask what certificate you will receive and check public liability insurance.

Question 6

What can affect the cost of window and door fitting work?

Accepted Answer

The price can be affected by product type, size, glazing, access, making good, and disposal. Ask for a written quote that explains what is included and how extra work would be agreed.

Question 7

How long can window and door fitting work take?

Accepted Answer

How long the work takes depends on product type, size, glazing, and access. A small, straightforward job can be much quicker than a larger or more complex one, so ask when the work can start and how long it is expected to take once the scope is clear.

Question 8

What should I do before the work starts?

Accepted Answer

Before the work starts, clear curtains, blinds, furniture and ornaments from around openings, agree protection for floors and internal finishes, and confirm who will remove old units, make good reveals and dispose of waste. Follow any job-specific instructions the business gives you before arrival.

Question 9

When might another trade or specialist also be needed?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the job, you may also need glaziers, locksmiths, carpenters & joiners, builders, and conservatory installers. Ask the business you contact what it will handle itself and whether another trade is needed.
