Time on Site

 

Most timber window restorations take 2–4 hours per unit, although complex repairs or treatments may extend the time required.

 

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

 

• What type of timber species do you plan to use for the restoration?

• Will you treat the timber with weather-resistant preservatives and anti-fungal solutions?

 

How to Avoid Surprises

 

• Ensure the work area around the windows is clear of obstructions and debris.

• Verify that all hardware, such as hinges and handles, will be inspected and, if necessary, replaced.
