Questions

Is the price fixed?

Yes. The quote is a fixed price for the work set out, so it won’t go up if the job takes longer. The only exception is hidden rot that can’t be seen until the window is opened up. If we find any, we’ll stop, show you, and price the extra work before doing anything.

How long will my windows be out?

Most work is done on site. If sashes go to the workshop, we’ll agree how long beforehand, and the openings will be securely boarded.
