The word warranty needs an explanation. Ask which work or products are covered and how a possible defect is reported.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep glazing and rooflight maintenance instructions together. Leave outdoor surfaces accessible without having to remove permanent furniture or planting.
Distinguish arrangements
Workmanship and product warranties can have different conditions. Identify the contact person and documents supplied at handover.
Discuss maintenance
Some conditions relate to normal use and care. Ask what is expected and how maintenance can be recorded.
Make reporting practical
Photographs, location and a description of when the issue appears help assessment. The next step depends on the actual situation and agreements.
How to review the result
At completion, walk from the cooking area to the terrace. Check the opening with the intended furniture in place and review the light with any shading closed.
Decide this before construction
Fix the kitchen layout and finished floor levels before ordering services and glazing. Plan the outdoor transition too, even when garden work will follow later.
Questions for your own property
- Which arrangement applies to each part?
- Who handles a report?
- Are conditions and care instructions written down?
