new windows

[colinjs]

We are having new windows fitted soon and when the they are being fitted does the furniture need to be covered up. When the man came to measure he did'nt say if they was going to cover the furniture up.

We will be having all new windows too next month.
I intend to cover the furniture with old sheets before they come, obviously you take down blinds and curtains and move furniture as far away from the windows as possible.

There is lots of mess removing the old,

Plaster and brick dust etc

Cover everything if I were you mate XD

Make sure you keep the Fensa certificate/ guarantee. You'll need it if you ever come to sell. The last house I sold, everything was going through fine.. Then out of the blue the solicitor asked for the certificate for the windows. The trouble that caused me...

Thanks, and the same to you. x


Just as a handy hint, I have looked on websites and dustcloths, 4x5 metres can be bought for £4.
I think I will save my sheets and buy a few of them.

4 x 5 m large dust sheets on eBay for £1.99.

You would probably be better off paying a little bit extra in all truthfulness. I have used them before and they are very flimsy they also attract static and cling together and I have even ripped them separating them.

I looked on the B&Q website, but if I can get them cheaper for the same quality, I definitely will.
I don't need them till the middle of Feb, (fingers crossed)
