Patio doors

Hello

We had our lounge window and wall knocked out, and a patio door installed.

I paid two builders £120 to knock out the bricks down to the damp proof course, and a man came to install it and left a foam around the outside of it.

It looks terrible, the builders have filled in a few wholes where the window sill with bricks, but there is a big hole in our living room floor where the wall cavity is. I thought the window company would put a plastic step/cill here. I dont know what to do with it.

He said your builders usually include sorting that out in the price.

If we put carpet up to the window how do we fill the hole? you cant fill a cavity I believe?!

Thanks for your help

The windows fitter should have put down a sill and made good any aesthetics. I guess it's kind of one blaming the other when you get two parties working on one job. You could buy a sill and a can of the expanding foam and place it on top of the brickwork. That's all the fitters did when they installed my patio doors and it looks ok.

Didn't you order a step to be installed when you ordered the company to put in the door? Go back to them and ask them to put a step in for you.. but expect to be charged..
