O/T Double Glazing

Educate me then? Are companies putting windows in that are 30-40mm short? When they come out, they measure up, it's in their interests to do so.

This has always been my experience of the situation. Even on a new build extensions where I obviously build the openings spot on as per drawing the openings are measured prior to manufacture.

Yeah, what advantage would a window fitter get from putting in under sized windows? ****ing baffled

There are obviously standard size openings, 1200 x 900, 1200 x 1200 etc, but good luck to a manufacturer making a batch of windows standard size. We know, in the game, that it doesn’t work that way. They’re very rarely timber nowadays where a chippie could run a plane up the sides......haven’t seen a chippie use a hand plane or saw for that matter. They’d rather pick a rattlesnake up than a tool without a lead or battery

Don't see Timber windows, unless they're hardwood or sash, and they're all double glazed. I can remember putty. Loved the smell of it

Tbf they did a conservatory for us and the work, buildfinish and communication was excellent all through the job.

After the small deposit they only wanted to be paid when the work was completed and we were happy.

I don’t say they were the cheapest but my experience with them was excellent

I won't go to them on principle.
They did my neighbour's conservatory ( a bloody big one!) and sure, it looks ok.
But they extended their workplace into my garden, not so much as a by-your-leave.
Not only that, but they had concrete delivered by a lorry with a snorkel thing; it needed to extend its stabalisers, where did they put them?
Right in the middle of my lawn!. This was in November or December, so the ground was wet, and the stabaliser made a two-foot deep hole in my lawn, so big you could stand in it.
Even worse, the lorry driver buggered off without saying anything.
Only when I emailed the office with a pic did the on-site workers actually fill the hole.
Bastards.
