The Brief

During the assessment, multiple PVC windows were found to have inadequate trims and sealing, creating potential for draughts and water ingress. The composite front door was also misaligned, impacting both operation and security due to the way it had originally been installed.

Overcoming Challenges

  • The team faced several installation-related challenges during the works. The minimal tolerance around the existing door frame meant careful removal was essential to protect surrounding brickwork. Some of the window trims and sealant had also been incorrectly applied, requiring full removal before reinstatement.

  • Through careful planning and a methodical approach, the team were able to deliver the works safely, accurately, and with minimal disruption to the resident.
