[QUOTE="Sheikh Yerbouti, post: 701194, member: 9093"] if it's just the glazing they're doing you'll have no such worries. if they're removing frames as well then see above. a lot of it will depend what type of windows you've currently got. When mine were done the inside sills were replaced as well, but i don't think that added too much to the hassle/dust factor. I had disgusting ally-framed single-glazed jobbies which apparently are a bugger to remove cos they're fixed into the brickwork with steel pins. Lots of banging hammers & chisels & swearing to get them out, but yours might not be that bad. Amazing how much they will bend before the glass pane goes :) Keeping kiddiwinks well out of the way is a given, obviously. If you're having french doors, the only thing to watch really is that they don't knack the damp course when they're knocking the brickwork out. My lot did, but I just distracted the building standards bloke when he did his inspection & got the certificate OK. Are they gonna make good plasterwork and stuff inside once the french doors go in? If so they should also fit a threshold board (like a windowsill) between the bottom of the french doors & the floorboards. Again, my lot didn't, I had to do it myself afterwards. It was a ball-ache and is a bit of a lashup but looks OK thankfully. Mine were fitted by a mate in the trade though so I'm sure the crafty fucker cut corners. [/QUOTE]
