New windows

strangeotron

Two bedrooms are getting new windows tomorrow. Any idea how long this should take? Also how bad does the weather have to be before they cancel as heavy rain is forecast for most of the day. Thanks.

Depends on the size but assuming nothing massive it's a mornings work. Weather depends entirely on who's installing, give them a call to confirm the appointment and ask them?

Average e bedroom semi sized house, windows accordingly.

Surely if there's pouring rain they simply can't do the job?

Unless its blowing a gale with the rain horizontal I think you may be ok

They're putting scaffolding up later today. The rooms are upstairs. Is this the way they do things now? Seems like a rather intensive process compared to back in the day.

So the window was fitted over a month ago. I notice the seal around the frame is already starting to crack. Should this be the case?

It looks like a bit of decorators caulk needs to be put along. A simple, cheap job - tubes are about £1 at the likes of Toolstation.

Should it break this soon? Seems ridiculous to me.

Two rigid materials that expand and contract at different rates will almost always have cracks to some degree - especially in the early days. As above, I'd use caulk.

Is that something safe for the layman to use?

Yup, it's just a flexible filler; you can do no harm!
