Window and door frame installation — Carpenter and joiner
Identify the openings, existing frame condition and whether you want repair, like-for-like replacement or a different arrangement. Photographs of internal and external edges help define making-good, weatherproofing and access rather than reducing the enquiry to frame dimensions alone.
Service scope
Installation or replacement of timber window and door frames, including the interface with the existing opening and the agreed internal or external finish. Weather protection, glazing, hardware and any required performance belong to the specified assembly rather than the frame label alone.
What is normally included
- Surveying frame openings
- Installing specified timber frames
- Agreed perimeter finishing and hardware interfaces
What is not included
- Unassessed enlargement of a structural opening
- Automatic inclusion of glazing or external access equipment
Typical tasks
- Measure the opening and retained construction
- Confirm repair or replacement scope
- Coordinate glazing and door-leaf interfaces
- Install the agreed frame system
- Inspect operation and perimeter finishing
What to include in your brief
- Opening locations and photographs
- Existing material and damage
- Desired frame configuration
- Glazing and leaf supply details
- External access and finish requirements
Choosing the right professional
Ask who takes final measurements and owns the joints between frame, wall, glazing and internal finishes. Discuss repair options for older frames and use relevant specialist competence where a door opening has fire, escape or other performance requirements.
Important considerations
- Hidden decay can extend into the surrounding opening
- Poorly coordinated perimeter work can leave water or air paths
