Review exposure, leaf movement and existing frame condition before accepting an ordinary repair in the unchanged opening. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
