Planning the work

Adjust or replace agreed compatible ordinary hinge hardware and check the sash movement and closing alignment. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
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.
