The Brief

The existing French doors were not performing as required, with noticeable draughts entering the property. The poor sealing and overall deterioration of the unit meant that a repair would not provide a reliable or long-term fix, and a full replacement was recommended.

Overcoming Challenges

  • During inspection, it became clear that the existing frame and seals had degraded to a point that prevented effective refurbishment. Careful removal was necessary to avoid damage to the surrounding brickwork and internal finishes, particularly as the unit had been in place for some time.

  • Evander’s team planned the works to ensure a clean removal and smooth installation process, minimising disruption for the resident.
