Investing in new windows and doors is one of the most transformative upgrades you can make to your home. Whether the goal is improved comfort, quieter living, enhanced energy efficiency or a refreshed architectural look, the installation process plays a crucial role in achieving the best possible outcome. At Fairco, we design every step of your installation day to be clean, organised and stress-free, ensuring your experience is as premium as the products themselves. Understanding how the day will unfold helps everything run smoothly and allows you to enjoy the transformation with confidence.
Preparing your home before the team arrives
In the days leading up to installation, a small amount of preparation helps create the ideal environment for our fitting team. Because windows and doors sit within busy areas of the home, ensuring clear access allows our installers to work efficiently and protects your belongings from accidental damage. We encourage customers to take a moment to move any ornaments, picture frames, houseplants or furniture away from the areas where work will take place. Removing blinds, curtains and window dressings in advance also saves time and protects delicate fabrics from dust.
If you have alarm sensors mounted on frames or sashes, temporarily removing them allows the installation to proceed without interruption. Many homeowners also choose to cover sensitive items such as electronics, artworks or treasured pieces, particularly in nearby rooms where light dust may travel. These simple steps help create a calm, organised space for your installation and allow our team to focus on delivering the best possible craftsmanship.
What happens on the day of installation
On the day itself, your Fairco installation team will arrive at the scheduled time, ready to begin work. From the outset, great care is taken to protect your home. Floors and walkways are covered, and the areas around each opening are prepared to minimise disruption. Removing existing windows and doors is a precise process that requires skill and patience; our team works methodically to take out old frames, glazing and seals without causing unnecessary disturbance to your interior finishes or exterior walls.
Once the space is carefully prepared, your new Fairco windows and doors are installed with the accuracy and detail that define our craftsmanship. This includes positioning the frame, securing it correctly, adding appropriate insulation, ensuring airtightness, and completing all finishing touches such as interior trims and exterior sealing. Throughout the day, you may hear the sound of drilling or cutting, and there may be moments when dust is visible. These are normal parts of the installation process, and our team manages them carefully to keep your home as orderly as possible.
Before moving from one area to the next, our installers take time to ensure each stage is completed to the highest standard. Their focus is not only on the beauty of the finished installation but also on long-term performance and durability, which is why precision is central to every step.
After the installation is complete
When the final product is in place, your installation experience doesn’t end there. A thorough post-installation check is carried out with you present. This is an opportunity to walk through each newly installed window and door, observing the finish, operation and overall appearance. Our team will demonstrate how each opening part works, explain locking mechanisms, show how trickle ventilation operates if applicable, and make sure you are fully comfortable with the day-to-day use of your new products.
We also take a moment to ensure you are satisfied with the cleanliness of the space. All coverings are removed, work areas are cleaned, and any packaging or leftover materials are taken away. What remains is a noticeably improved home – one that feels warmer, quieter and more secure from the very first moment.
A seamless, stress-free experience from start to finish
At Fairco, we believe installation day should feel as considered and reassuring as the consultation and design process. Our team is trained not only in technical skills but also in providing a respectful, customer-focused service that minimises disruption. Whether you are replacing a single entrance door or upgrading every window in your home, we take pride in delivering an experience defined by clarity, professionalism and exceptional craftsmanship
