Yeah - been there and done that already with the bathroom renovations! This has raised the question of what we'll do on the rear windows though which will be done with the ground floor renovation. One of the rear rooms is a bathroom with a tiled cill and tiled partway up the reveal. I don't fancy having to have that cut!jamcg wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 8:28 pmI’d imagine it’ll be a combination of grinders and oscillating multi tools, whatever they use expect it to be a dusty job so cover anything that you don’t want lathered, plaster dust is incredibly fine and goes everywhereSwervin_Mervin wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 7:51 pm Still waiting on builders quotes for the ground floor renovation
However, after waiting for 4mo (and probably closer to 9 since we started the process) our new windows have arrived for the front of the house. Upper bay is now in. Tomorrow should see the rest done.
The only pisser is the spare room and study room both currently have 60mm frames in and the new ones are 70mm. This means cutting back the boarding and cills inside by 10mm. In rooms that have been decorated in the last 5 years. FFS. Ironically in our bedroom, where we were set to redecorate anyway, no such damage necessary.
I just hope they can do a neat job - but can't imagine plaster is easy to cut even remotely neatly.
I'll post pics once done but we've gone with Origin alu windows in Silk Grey - bucking the trend for darker frames (which I'm sure they'll put in the adjoining semi which is currently being gutted). It looks good so far though.
