Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• do you have experience replacing this style of window and carrying out the brick repairs needed

• will you supply the window and confirm the specification (U‑value, frame material and guarantees)

• is a new lintel or structural work likely and will you arrange building‑regulations approval or a compliance certificate

• what access or scaffolding do you need and who organises and insures it

• how will you protect internal surfaces and control dust during brick cutting and removal

• what warranty do you give on labour and materials and what is excluded

How to Avoid Surprises

• confirm vehicle access and parking for the installer or scaffold lorry

• clear the work area inside and remove fragile items before arrival

• check party‑wall or neighbour consent for external brickwork or scaffold if applicable

• agree finishes (paint, plaster) and sign off changes before work starts

• ask for a written quote with timeline, payment stages and waste‑removal details
