Time on Site

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

 

• can you supply and fit this specific door model, and what warranty do you provide?

• are you a glazing installer and do you carry public liability insurance and relevant certifications?

• will you need to remove tiles or alter the tray and how will remedial work be charged?

• how long will the job take, will you need to return for sealant checks, and what cure time do you recommend?

• how will you dispose of old glass and is there an extra charge for removal?

 

How to Avoid Surprises

 

• clear toiletries, towels and loose items and provide unobstructed access to the bathroom

• confirm parking or permit availability close to the property for a van

• tell the tradie about any prior water damage or loose tiles so they can quote realistically

• protect floors and surrounding fittings and allow sealant cure time before use

• keep pets and children away during fitting and drying to avoid accidents
