Owner occupiers replacing one door or one window
Who this page is for: owner occupiers replacing one door or one window in Caerleon
This page is for the single replacement, not the whole property. One failed unit, one tired front door, one window that never closed properly since the last fitter left. The job is small, so the things that matter are turning up when promised and leaving the reveal tidy.
What this buyer actually needs from us
- Making good inside so there is no decorating job left behind
- A straight answer on whether the existing frame can be repaired instead
- The gasket is dressed into every corner with a specific gasket tool, not a screwdriver, so the corner stays sharp.
- The client is walked through the operation of every lock, every vent, and every restraint before the crew leaves.
The same ten year product guarantee applies whether you buy one unit or twenty

What we typically find on patio doors surveys around here
- ·A cracked pane has been temporarily patched with clear tape and left for six months.
- ·The georgian bar between the panes has come detached from the top spacer on one unit.
- ·The garden gate side of the property gets no direct sun and the frames there look ten years newer than the fronts.
- ·The friction stays are the wrong hand for the sash — a previous swap fitted left-hand stays on a right-hand window.
- ·The old timber back door has a live rot pocket at the bottom hinge that reads soft to a screwdriver tip.
- ·Original security bolts on the ground floor sashes are seized in place and no longer key-lockable.
- ·One of the sealed units carries the previous installer's phone number etched on the aluminium spacer bar.
- ·A previous cylinder swap left the escutcheon plate rotating freely — a snap risk that nobody logged.
- ·The threshold weather bar is missing its rubber blade — you can see daylight under the door.
- ·The composite door slab has a hairline crack along the letterplate cut-out from a delivery boot.
- ·The frame drainage on a south-facing bathroom window is blocked with paint film from the exterior repaint.
- ·Original beads have been over-painted so many times they no longer clip flush and rattle in a gust.
- ·A previous fitter left the transport wedges in the frame corners and the internal seal never fully reset.
- ·The escutcheon on the front door is loose and rotates as the key turns.
- ·A previous fitter drilled through the outer frame chamber for the trickle vent — never fully sealed the drilling.
- ·Original security stickers from the installer are still on the bottom of the panes, twenty years later.
Why residents are booking patio doors right now
- ·The resident does not want to be sold to — they want a survey, a written figure, and to be left to decide.
- ·The owner wants the property to look ten years newer without needing an extension.

- ·The buyer is furnishing the property for short-term let and wants a five-year cosmetic warranty on the door slab.
- ·The resident wants the patio door to slide with one finger — not the two-handed heave the current one takes.
- ·The resident wants the crew to remove and re-hang the internal curtains as part of the job, not leave that step to them.
- ·The buyer wants the whole ground floor to feel more connected to the garden without losing the wall.
- ·The owner is done with the biannual repaint of the timber back door and wants a paint-free equivalent.
- ·The owner has watched a neighbour's crew leave debris behind and wants a written cleanup expectation on the quote.
- ·The homeowner wants the composite slab to be paintable without voiding the manufacturer warranty.
- ·The resident has a shift-worker sleeping in the day and needs the bedroom to be a genuine acoustic step change.
- ·The homeowner is planning a loft conversion next year and wants the windows sorted before scaffold cost is priced.
- ·The resident wants the frames to survive a specific paint colour on the render for at least a decade.
- ·The owner is preparing the elevation for a specific street-photo listing and wants the finish to be photographable in raking morning light.
- ·The owner is having a kitchen refit next month and wants the patio door in first so the tiler works to a fitted threshold.
- ·The resident is done with condensation-driven mould at the sill line every February.
How our fitters actually do the work
- ·The internal skirting is protected with a strip of packing tape across the top edge before any tool touches it.
- ·The internal cill is scribed with a coping saw against the reveal plaster, not butted flush with a caulk joint.
- ·The frame perimeter is checked with a smoke pencil for airtightness before the internal trims go on.
- ·The bay assembly is squared with a laser diagonal, not a tape measure and eye.
- ·The composite slab is not cut on site — if it does not fit, a new slab is ordered rather than trimmed.
- ·The frame drainage caps are proven flowing before the beading goes in — a bottle of water down the outer chamber.
- ·The old timber cill under a uPVC swap is treated with a boron preservative before the new frame is set over it.
- ·The door is closed, locked, and left overnight before final adjustment, so any settlement is captured before sign-off.
- ·The internal architrave is scored along its length with a fresh blade before removal, so the wallpaper does not tear back.
- ·The friction stay screws are torque-limited, not driven at full trigger — over-driven screws strip the stay chamber.
- ·New frames sit on hardwood packers, not plastic offcuts — plastic creeps under load, timber does not.
- ·Every silicone bead is tooled with the correct radius spatula, not smoothed with a wet finger only.
- ·The trickle-vent covers are set with their vane orientation matched across a bank of windows for visual consistency.
- ·The site tidy happens twice per day, not once at the end, so brick dust doesn't track through the house.
- ·The multipoint gearbox is thrown by hand before the frame goes in — a factory fault at that point is a five-minute fix.
- ·The crew takes the old glass off site in a labelled sack that day, not a skip left on the drive.

Faults we fix before recommending patio doors
A door that needs lifting, shoving or a second attempt to lock is warning you before the gearbox fails completely.
A sliding door that fights you is nearly always rollers and track debris, not a dead door.
Most break-ins through glazed openings exploit the cylinder or the keeps, both of which are upgradeable in an afternoon.
French doors are a pair, so the fault is usually in how the two leaves meet rather than in either leaf on its own.
