Practical preparation, what the day actually looks like, and what happens at handover.
Installation day is the part homeowners worry about most and the part we do most often. Knowing the sequence makes it far less disruptive.
This guide covers preparation, the working day itself, and what should happen before the team leaves.
A little preparation saves time on the day:
Openings are worked on in sequence rather than all at once, so the house isn't opened up more than necessary at any point.
There will be dust and noise while old frames come out. Sheets go down, and the aim is that the site is left tidy each evening.
On larger installations spread over more than a day, every opening worked on is left secure and weathertight overnight. If anything can't be completed, we tell you before we leave rather than after.
Before the team leaves you should be shown how the locks, restrictors and trickle vents work, given the keys and handles, and told what documentation follows. If anything isn't right, say so at handover — it's much easier to resolve while we're there.
The survey sets the dates, the spec and the price — with no obligation to go ahead.
Someone should be available for access and for handover at the end. We'll agree the arrangements in advance.
