Interesting.

No thtey didn't./t

Thanks Craig

@craig Is Ecotec duty covered in Internorm? or the GGF? or the Section 75 Consumers rights?.........The MD and fitter are coming tmw at 9am and I know they will try to worm out of it with weasel words.

Aye. Its a mess. looking at the GGF good guideline it talks about remedial work prior to the windows being installed. Whats the difference between remedial work and making good?

Thank you. Have a fab sunny day.

I got them with https://www.ecotecwindows.com

Thank you. I will have a look at these standards. Re contract - its vague and I didnt know to ask. I naively believed them. The contract says ' 1. Installation (a)The estimated installation cost does not include skip hire, specialist lifting equipment, scaffolding, removal of rubbish or ‘making good’ and is subject to the installers site survey.

@Redbeard @SteamyTea @joe90 Thank you Thank you, I've posted on the Windows thread. With picture.

Should the threshold of the doors be up this much? (Please see other thread and photos for context.)

Windows inside and out. Inside some of the wall cavity is just open. The expanding foam has been left and not trimmed. There are gaps in the external black foam.

Front sliding doors. Bottom When the took out the old doors at the back they told me to get some tiles and fill in the gaps. But this the front sliding doors the 'solution' to fill the gap under the doors was to replace the white PVC sill/step/ledge from the old door.. See the white below. I agreed to this but I’m not a builder or an engineer. But I'm worried as White PVC is now 20 years old and at the end of its life. Which is why I am having the windows replaced. It doesnt have any structural heavy loading material in it. (its PVC, with a compressed chip board sill.) Top The metal lintal of that supports the whole front of the house is exposed.

Front door. Is sitting on the houses original 1970s wooden threshold. Is the correct? and I can see the outside around the frame at the bottom.

As a once in a life time event I’ve had Internorm Windows and sliding doors fitted. I not happy with the way the windows are fitted into the walls and the lack of external weather proofing. I don’t know the correct words to get a resolution. I got check-mated by the MD when I said ‘but they’ve not made good the external wall’ with ‘We are installers and not builders. We do not make good’. But but it’s not weather proof. The fitter is going to come back to fit sills - but is is just decorative. He told me I just needed to silicon bead the insides of the frame and re-plaster around the windows. BUT........ The M.D and fitter are coming twm to look (talk me round.) Back sliding doors. 1. Under door gap. about 1 meter of the frame is resting on only the ends of the floor boards. And the the area under the board is exposed to the outside. 2. The top, the concrete lintel is exposed. And the black foam is push against the end of the ceiling plaster board. 3. Inside - the side of the inside of the window- the of the wall is exposed.

I’m Claire snd I live in Sheffield. I’m back living in my home after years of renting it out. now that I’m back I’ve had the kitchen and windows updated and I have questions about the install. When I say questions, I don’t really know what the questions are as I don’t know enough about building regs, specs but I want and need to learn fast. Thank you hugely in advance.
