Test frames, seals, thresholds, drainage, hardware, glazing, repairs and warranty evidence before final payment.
Clear glass does not prove a weather-tight opening
Inspect windows, sliders and external doors by elevation. Record frame alignment, seals, weep paths, thresholds, flashing, drainage, corrosion, locks, safety glazing and interfaces with render or waterproofing. Look for staining, swollen finishes and previous sealant repairs; test safely under suitable conditions.
The defect list should identify the opening, symptom, test method, responsible contractor, repair detail and retest result. Obtain product schedules, installation records and warranty terms before final payment. Read the roof-waterproofing guide, handover guide and buyer service.
