What a Window Installer Job Typically Involves
A standard window installer quote usually covers:
- Labour for removing the old windows and installing the new frames and glazed units
- Standard fixings, packers, and expanding foam or sealant to fix and weatherproof the frames
- Internal and external trims, cills, and silicone sealing around each opening
- Adjustment of hinges, locks, and handles, and a final operational check of every opener
- A FENSA or CERTASS Building Regulations compliance certificate and removal of the old frames on completion
Re-sealing tired silicone around an existing frame or replacing window furniture such as handles and friction stays is straightforward DIY. Installing replacement windows is not a casual job: under Part L and Part F of the Building Regulations the work is notifiable, so it must either be carried out by a FENSA or CERTASS registered installer who self-certifies it, or notified to Building Control and inspected. Without that certificate you cannot prove compliance, which causes problems and delays when you come to sell the property.
