Landlords, letting agents and portfolio owners
Who this page is for: landlords, letting agents and portfolio owners in Barry
Written for landlords and agents. The measure of a good job here is not the colour of the frame, it is how few callouts the property generates in the following five years and whether the work can be done between tenancies.
What matters most on this kind of job
- Restrictors and safe opening on upper floors as standard
- Consistent specification across a portfolio so spares are interchangeable
- Door thresholds are set with a spirit level along their full length and then re-checked with a straight edge.
- The gasket at the corner mitre is butt-jointed with a fresh knife cut, not stretched and hoped.
Repeat work for local landlords across multiple properties, with the same specification carried between them

What we typically find on conservatory roof replacement surveys around here
- ·The trickle-vent screw covers are missing and the internal chamber has filled with cobweb.
- ·Every south-facing frame has visible micro-cracking in the surface film — early sign of UV embrittlement.
- ·The cill drainage caps on a north-facing elevation are frozen in place with layered moss.
- ·The reinforcement steel inside the top rail of a wide sash has rusted through in one corner.
- ·The sealed unit is a 20mm gap, not the modern 28mm minimum, so U-values are into the mid-2s at best.
- ·A previous fitter left the transport wedges in the frame corners and the internal seal never fully reset.
- ·The catch keep for the bathroom window has been packed out with a folded matchbox to make the sash lock.
- ·Original beads have been over-painted so many times they no longer clip flush and rattle in a gust.
- ·One sash locks by lifting a nail out of the frame — a bodge from a decade ago that everyone forgot about.
- ·The stay arm on the top vent has bent and no longer sits into its rest bracket cleanly.
- ·The door-side glazed sidelight has a shattered internal pane held together by the laminated interlayer.
- ·The internal reveal plaster is spalling under the cill where condensation has run for years.
- ·The seal at the beading corner has shrunk enough to expose the mitre on the internal white finish.
- ·The internal window board has swelled at the sink end from years of splash and is delaminating along the front edge.
- ·The frame drainage slots at the bottom are clogged with debris, so rainwater sits inside the chamber.
- ·The composite slab has swelled by 2mm on the hinge stile from years of morning-sun exposure.

How our fitters actually do the work
- ·The perimeter tape between frame and reveal is a compressible foam tape, not a plain butyl strip.
- ·The new frame is stood in the reveal dry before any fixings go in — a final chance to catch a wrong-hand delivery.
- ·The trickle-vent covers are set with their vane orientation matched across a bank of windows for visual consistency.
- ·The threshold ramp on an accessible door is set to a maximum 15mm rise and confirmed with a spirit-level lip.
- ·The frame drainage caps face outward and are set proud enough that they don't clog with a season of rainwater.
- ·The threshold has an EPDM strip continuous under the frame — not stitched together across the door width.
- ·The composite door slab is inspected under torchlight for delamination before the hinges are fitted.
- ·Trickle vents are drilled through the outer frame with a bespoke jig — not freehand with a spade bit.
- ·The bay-corner post gets a structural bracket into masonry, not a token fixing into the outer frame.
- ·The window board is scribed to the plaster line, not left with a caulked gap that shows in raking light.
- ·The head of the frame is packed dry before the sides are fixed, so the frame does not distort during installation.
- ·The internal beads are numbered on removal so they return to the same corner they came from.
- ·The crew calls the client at 5pm the day before to confirm arrival window and site access details.
- ·The old frame is removed by cutting the corners with a reciprocating saw rather than a lever bar that damages the reveal.
- ·The lead fitter leaves a handwritten note of anything the client should watch in the first month, not a printed generic checklist.
- ·We de-glaze into a padded rack, not straight into the skip — the intact panes go to a glazier for reuse.
