Scope of Works Required:
1. Joinery:
Supply and install new aluminium window (1580mm H x 1800mm W)

Paint and prepare trims/skirting to match existing
Paint supply to be included

4. Brickwork:
Supply and lay bricks beneath new window to match existing as closely as possible
Ensure visual continuity and code compliance
Include mortar, cleaning, and disposal

Size Difference:
Existing Opening: 2340mm H x 1800mm W = 4.212 m²
New Window: 1580mm H x 1800mm W = 2.844 m²
Wall area to be filled (brick + framing): approx. 1.368 m²

"We received a quote from the builder, but no site visit was carried out. It’s difficult to assess accuracy or suitability of the quote without someone actually viewing the job. Good communication otherwise, but we would have preferred an on-site assessment before pricing."
