rated assemblies for approval before commencement of work will be provided by the manufacturer.

Delivery, Storage and Handling

Coordinate deliveries to comply with the Construction Schedule and arrange for off-the-ground storage. Do not
load any area beyond the safe design and recommended load limits.

Site Conditions
Install work only in areas closed and protected against the weather. Provide appropriate Ventilation &
Dehumidification (VD) to eradicate extreme moisture in the areas of work to ensure appropriate drying, curing
of the compounds.

Try to never install such type of work in any area unless convinced that the work accomplished has dried out and
that no more installation of damp materials is proposed.

The sequence of Window Installation Operations:

 Liaise with the client before the start of works to determine start dates and durations for the works. Advise the client
of the hazards associated with the works.
 Ensure all materials, parts and equipment have been ordered and are available for the start of works.
 On Commencement of works, prepare the site for work by advising the residents of the property of the scope of
works and the restrictions that will be placed upon the working area in terms of where the client and other
contractors can and cannot go whilst the works are being undertaken.
 Carry out a visual inspection of the work area to ensure that the
 required works are as per the specification and that no additional works or materials are likely to be required. Check
to see if any suspect
 substances, such as asbestos are present. If additional works are
 required, or any suspicious substances have been identified, contact the head office immediately and advise the
client.
 Deliver all parts and materials to the site, ensuring that appropriate care is taken when manual handling large, heavy
or awkward shaped objects, such as heavy glazed units.
 Cover all affected areas of flooring, soft furnishings, white goods and other items with dust sheets or other
appropriate protective sheets to prevent any damage being caused to them.
 This should be carried out in strict accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations and the sequence specified
by the manufacturer. All work will also be carried out in strict accordance with [FENSA/other authorities as per
your business geographical location] requirements.
 Before starting work ensure that the correct window sizes have been supplied, together with the necessary fixtures
and fittings.
 Where applicable the existing windows should first be removed by removing the hinges from the window frame.
The existing window frames
 can then be removed from the wall; this will be done by cutting through the frame and levering the framework from
the wall with a wrecking bar.

 1The old windows and frames will be removed from the site and disposed of via a licensed waste carried for
disposal at a licensed waste site.
 All work will generally be carried out from the inside of the property, however, where work is being carried out on
floors other than the ground floor, or where work is carried out on the ground floor and level of the ground outside
of the window is more than 1.5m below the sill height and where the internal sill height is less than 910mm (or
950mm on properties constructed after April 2005) above the internal floor level, then additional measures must be
implemented to safeguard against falls through the open window aperture. This is to ensure compliance with the
Work at Height Regulations 2005. In such instances where the sill height is below 910 mm (or 950mm on new
properties) either a temporary handrail at 950 mm must be erected, or those carrying out the works must wear a full-
body harness with a lanyard attached to a suitable anchor point.
 Before the fitting of the new window and window frame, the walls must be checked to ensure that they are sound
and that any old fixings have been removed and disposed of. Where sections of the wall have been damaged or are
not suitable, the area should be made good or alternative fixings used.
 Clean the area and prepare the recess for the installation of the new windows. Fit the new window frame into
position, ensuring a tight fit and ensuring that the frame is plumb and square.
 Use packers were necessary to secure the frame in position and then drill through the frame into the masonry wall
for the frame fixings. A minimum of 2 frame fixings should be used on each element of the window frame, though
for long windows additional fixings will be required.
 Once the frame fixings have been inserted and securely fixed /tightened, the back of the frame should be filled with
expanding foam to provide added protection against the weather, water ingress and unwanted noise.
 Where applicable the individual window openings can be inserted and fixed to the window frame with the hinges.
Generally, all windows and frames should be supplied pre-assembled before arriving on site.
 Once the windows and frames have been installed, the glazing units can be inserted. Each unit should be installed
and secured into position with the appropriate beading/seals. The glazed panels can then be carefully lifted into
position, grip gloves should be worn at all times when lifting glazed units and for large panels, a minimum of 2
persons should be used to lift and secure the
 panels in place. The use of suction lifters should also be used to provide a safe and secure grip when lifting large and
heavy glass panels/units.
 The windows should then be tested to ensure that they open and close smoothly without rubbing or catching, if
necessary, the hinges should be adjusted to ensure a suitable fit.
 The window frame should then be trimmed and sealed both internally and externally and the area made good.
 Upon completion of the works, [Client/Contractor/Company Name] will remove all rubbish, scrap and waste
materials/packaging from the premises and dispose of them appropriately. Thoroughly vacuum and clean through
the area and all transit routes leaving the property in a clean and tidy state.
