Investing in new windows or doors is a big decision and knowing what to expect during installation can make the experience stress-free. At Finesse Windows, we pride ourselves on professionalism, care, and clear communication. Here’s your step-by-step guide to the installation process, what happens on the day, and answers to the most common customer concerns.
The Installation Process: Step-by-Step
Pre-Installation Survey - Before fitting day, our team carries out a detailed survey. We check measurements, lintels, and structural supports to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Protection and Preparation - On installation day, we lay down dust sheets and floor protection throughout work areas to keep your home clean. Furniture is moved or covered, and we take every precaution to minimise mess.
Careful Removal - Old windows and doors are carefully removed, section by section. We recycle as much as possible, ensuring responsible disposal.
Fitting the New Units - Each new window or door is installed and securely fixed. We complete one window or section at a time, there are never open holes left overnight, so your home remains secure.
Making Good - After fitting, we tidy up the reveals and make good for any minor plaster or trim damage. Our installers are skilled at neat finishing, but some minor touch-ups may be needed for older properties.
Final Checks and Handover - We check every installation for fit, finish, and function. You’ll receive a full demonstration of your new windows or doors and advice on aftercare.
FAQs: Your Concerns Answered
Q. Will you protect my floors and keep things clean?
A. Absolutely. We use dust sheets, floor protection, and careful working practices to keep your home as clean as possible. We tidy up at the end of each day.
Q. Will you leave windows open overnight if you don’t finish?
A. Never. We complete one window or section at a time, so your home is always secure and weather-tight before we leave for the day. No open holes overnight.
Q. What happens if plaster cracks or reveals get damaged?
A. Minor cracks or chips can occur, especially in older properties. Our team will make good any damage to plaster or reveal as part of the service. For significant redecorating or painting, you may need to arrange your own decorator.
Q. How long does installation take?
A. A full house transformation typically takes around one week, but jobs vary based on property size and complexity. Single windows or doors are usually fitted in a half a day.
Q. What’s the lead time from order to fitting?
A. Standard white windows and doors are usually manufactured in 4–6 weeks. Special colours or finishes can add around 2 extra weeks. We’ll confirm your installation date when you order and keep you informed throughout the manufacturing process.
