YOUR WINDOWS & DOORS QUOTE

Windows & doors: what to check before accepting a quote

The number of windows alone does not describe what you are buying. Specification, installation and finishing all matter.

01

Product schedule

List sizes, frame materials, opening styles, glazing, security hardware and colours. Confirm who is responsible for final measurements.

02

Installation and making good

Record removal, disposal, internal reveals, external sealing, trims and decoration. Define what happens if installation damages finishes.

03

Compliance and guarantees

Agree the approval route for your UK nation. FENSA and CERTASS cover eligible work through schemes in England and Wales; elsewhere check local requirements. Separate product cover from installation cover.

These are points to clarify, not findings about your quotation or installer. Your report is prepared from your answers; we do not inspect your written quote or property.

Turn the questions into a useful record.

Choose the report, the agreement or both for the same job.
