What this work involves
Have a specialist assess required functions and existing conditions. Record products, junction details and checks before concealing components.
- Required function and design
- Doors, joints and penetrations
- Documentation and inspection
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Keep controls and connection points outside the sliding door movement zone.
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.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep glazing and rooflight maintenance instructions together. Leave outdoor surfaces accessible without having to remove permanent furniture or planting.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on requirements, penetration count, access and reinstatement. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
