How our fitters actually do the work
- ·The dustsheet inside the room is a heavy canvas taped to the skirting, not a light plastic left loose.
- ·Fixings are set at the manufacturer's spacing, not evenly spaced by eye — the corner loads matter.
- ·The multipoint keeps get a smear of grease inside the pocket before the door is closed for the first time.
- ·The client is walked through the finished job with a printed operation card, not a rushed verbal handover.
- ·The internal make-good caulk is polymer, tooled with a wet finger and then a spatula for a final radius.
- ·The window boards are pre-treated on the underside with a moisture seal before setting in place.
- ·We de-glaze into a padded rack, not straight into the skip — the intact panes go to a glazier for reuse.
- ·The old frame comes out in one piece where possible so the reveal detail is not chased through with a demolition bar.
- ·The install date is stamped inside the frame chamber for future reference — a decade later a client can still date it.
- ·The multipoint hooks are lubed with the manufacturer's grease, not household oil that dries and gums.
- ·The wall around the frame is Hoovered before the client sees the room again — brick dust ages a first impression.
- ·The frame square is checked at the diagonals before any glass goes in — a square frame stays square.
- ·The fitting van is stocked with the specific spare parts likely to be needed on the day — not a return trip on a missing hinge.
- ·The keeps for the multipoint are set with the door open and the position marked, not adjusted by eye once the door is closed.
- ·The letterplate brush strip is trimmed to the exact height of the door thickness so it seals without dragging.
- ·The threshold sealant runs the full width with a single tool pass, not stitched together in inches.
