What is a Window Fitter
Window fitters install new or replacement windows and doors, conservatories and glazed curtain walls in all types of property from commercial premises to private households. They work with both traditional wooden- or metal-framed products and UPVC units. The windows and doors may be single or double glazed units or may be in the form of secondary glazing fitted inside existing windows. The work is usually carried out by a team, often consisting of two people - a fitter and a “skilled" helper.

A typical window fitting job involves removing old windows and doors with hand and power tools, and measuring up the space(s) to be fitted. Although fittings can be made-to-measure, more commonly, standard-sized glazing units are used, so it may be necessary to slightly enlarge or reduce the space around the fitment.

Fitters fix the windows and doors in place, making sure they are level and secure. They then make the fitting weathertight by using sealants. All leftover materials are disposed of and any damage to indoor plasterwork is made good. The work may also involve fitting weatherboarding.

Some fitters with extensive experience of complex work may be able to work on the repair and replacement of windows and glazing on historical buildings or monuments.

Some fitters work in the manufacture of glazing units.
