Commencing Tuesday 26th October 2021.
First Fit.
The team of four arrived with a van full of windows and tools at 8:00am.
The windows were unloaded onto the pavement and fitting of lead weights commenced while the first old windows were extracted.
Taking the old windows out did not take long!
The new windows were presented.
The old padding was re-used with additional expanding filler.
Wooden wedges were used as well in conjuction with a laser level device.
The next floor was tackled as work continued on the first windows in place.
Expandable filler was used inside and out as a base for final finishing.
The blank window spaces did look odd.
Architrave and sills in place.
Second day started just before 8:00am, just two installers for the last box sash and the kitchen door and windows.
The original shutters were to be retained and went back into place without much complication although some further detailed work will be needed.
It was very good to finally get rid of the aluminium front window frame that we have lived with for 38 years.
The front of the house looks fine and the Hackney Planning Office have approved it after I pressed for a response to my enquiry back in June.
The kitchen door and windows are neat.
Feels as if the door is open.
The back elevation looks good as well. A piece of plasterwork is held in place temporarily.
