Ensuring a proper, secure, and weathertight fit of the new units, using appropriate fixings, sealants, and insulation. 5. Carrying out any necessary finishing work, such as trimming, caulking, and painting, to create a seamless and aesthetically pleasing installation. 6. Providing guidance and advice to customers on the care and maintenance of the new uPVC windows and doors. 7.
