Probably yet another stupid question but is it OK to fit the windows and french doors before the roof is slated?

 

That's what we did just under 5 years ago. Our TF included a warm roof 3rd floor which was sarked. The frame and windows were erected in Nov. The slates went on in Feb. No probs at all.

Meant sarked rather than racked.

No problem. We had some scratches on one frame from falling slates.. happened when scaffolders were moving boards and I didn't clean up before hand and debris dropped down. Keep your scaffolding clean and don't throw slates...

We had an external stone skin added to our TF the following summer. Our windows were triple glazed Internorm Aluclad.  One thing that we did do was to cover them all with a building grade polythene protection pretty much soon after they went in.  The last stage of the stone work was to careful cut around the widow frame / stonework junction, remove the polythene sheets then do the final pointing fillet.
