Why do you need a window fitter?

A window fitter specialises in the installation and fitting of windows in buildings. Replacement windows are subject to building regulations, which means your windows need to be approved by your local building control.

That’s why we recommend using a window fitter for your replacement windows. Here are our reasons why we think you should use a professional rather than installing new windows yourself:

Expertise and experience: Window fitters are trained professionals with the expertise and experience to install windows correctly and efficiently. They understand the intricacies of various window types, materials and installation methods.

Proper installation: Incorrectly installed windows can lead to various issues, such as air leaks, water infiltration and energy inefficiency. A window fitter ensures that your windows are properly installed, minimising the risk of future problems and improving the overall energy efficiency of your home.

Safety: Window installation can be a challenging and potentially dangerous task, especially when you’re dealing with large or heavy windows. Window fitters have the necessary tools, equipment and knowledge to carry out the installation safely.

Warranties: Reputable window installers should provide a warranty or guarantee on their installation and the windows they’ve fitted. This provides peace of mind knowing that if any issues arise, the fitter will address them and ensure your windows are functioning as intended.

Building regulations-approved: Windows are classed as a ‘controlled fitting’ under Building Regulations, meaning certain standards around safety, energy efficiency and ventilation need to be met. Most good window fitters will be part of a competent person scheme, which means they can self-certify that their work complies with building regulations without having to inform your local building control.

Saves you time: Window fitting can be time-consuming, especially if you don’t have the training and experience. A professional fitter can complete the installation much faster and more efficiently, saving you time and effort. Plus, you won’t have to spend time reporting your new windows to your local building control, as your window fitter will either self-certify that the work meets Building Regulations or will handle the process for you.

Improve the look of your home: Properly-installed windows enhance the overall look of your home. A skilled window fitter will ensure that the windows are aligned, level and well-finished, which is difficult with a DIY job. New windows could increase your property’s value.

What does a window fitter do?

A window fitter will ensure that your windows are installed correctly and to Building Regulations standard, giving them a professional finish that will make your home’s exterior stand out from the rest of your street. Here’s what to expect from your window fitter when they come to install your replacement windows:

Site assessment and consultation: Before starting the installation process, a window fitter will assess the site and existing window frames. They will measure the dimensions of the openings and check for any potential issues that could affect the installation. They can also offer advice on the styles and materials of window to choose from, such as uPVC, aluminium or wood.

Preparation: The window fitter will prepare the windows for installation. This may involve assembling components, attaching hardware and ensuring that the windows have been delivered in good condition. They will also carefully remove your old windows.

Installation: The window fitter will install the new windows into the prepared openings. This includes positioning the windows correctly, securing them in place and making sure they are level.

Sealing and insulation: To ensure energy efficiency and prevent air and water infiltration, the fitter will apply seals and insulation around the window frames. All windows must now have trickle vents to improve air flow and reduce damp and condensation in your home, so they will ensure that they have installed these correctly.

Finishing and trim work: After they have installed your windows, the fitter may add finishing touches and trim work to enhance the appearance and weather resistance of the windows, such as filling gaps and using sealant.

Testing and adjustments: The window fitter will test the windows to ensure they open, close and lock properly. If adjustments are needed, they will make the necessary changes to ensure smooth operation. They will then provide you with all the keys for the windows.

Cleaning and maintenance: A professional window fitter will clean the windows and the surrounding area, leaving the workspace tidy and free of rubbish. They may also offer advice on how to clean and maintain them to prolong the life of your new windows.
