Questions to Ask Your Tradie

 

• have you installed film on conservatories/greenhouses or roof panels before

• what film brand and specification do you use (uv reduction, light transmission, warranty)

• is the film applied internally or externally and how does that affect longevity

• what warranty covers adhesion, bubbling and fading and is removal included

• will you need scaffolding or a cherry picker and who arranges/charges for that

• how soon after fitting can I clean the glass and are there any special aftercare steps

 

How to Avoid Surprises

 

• clear access around the glass, move pots, furniture and remove curtains where possible

• reserve a nearby parking space and tell the installer about narrow drives or gated access

• check for damaged seals or existing condensation and flag these before booking

• confirm weather-dependent timings for external installs and have a dry day window

• advise about pets, children and access to neighbours if scaffolding or external work is needed
